BOVIET SOLAR RECEIVED EU REACH CERTIFICATIONS FOR ITS PV MODULES FROM TÜV SUD

San Jose, California, USA, July 11, 2024 — Boviet Solar Technology Co. Ltd. (the “Company” or “Boviet Solar”), a leading solar energy technology company specializing in manufacturing monocrystalline PV cells, Gamma Series™ Monofacial, and Vega Series™ Bifacial PV Modules, received EU REACH compliance certification of certain PV modules from TUV SÜD.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals) (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) is the EU’s chemicals regulation. REACH aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment, promote the free circulation of chemicals on the EU market, and enhance competitiveness and innovation. The REACH Regulation requires companies to report on chemicals used in their products and throughout the supply chain. REACH testing is one of the methods used to determine whether or not products contain restricted chemicals, or substances of very high concern (SVHCs). Third-party laboratory testing allows you to verify compliance by testing for restricted or threshold-limited substances.

By obtaining REACH certification, Boviet Solar ensures that its products comply with the European Union’s stringent regulations on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). This certification highlights Boviet Solar’s commitment to environmental safety and sustainability by managing the risks associated with chemical substances used in their products.

Scott Chen, VP of Global Sales and Marketing at Boviet Solar, stated, “We are proud to announce that Boviet Solar’s PV modules have successfully passed the stringent REACH compliance testing. This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and our dedication to producing products that meet the highest standards of safety and quality. By ensuring our products are free from hazardous substances, we not only protect our environment but also provide our customers with peace of mind. Boviet Solar remains at the forefront of green technology, continuously striving to lead the industry in environmental stewardship and innovation.”

Jianbo Hou, Boviet Solar Director of Technology, added, “This REACH compliance milestone is a testament to our rigorous testing protocols and advanced manufacturing processes. It reflects our ongoing efforts to not only meet but exceed industry standards, ensuring our PV modules contribute positively to a sustainable future. We are committed to delivering cutting-edge solar solutions that are both efficient and environmentally responsible.”

Boviet Solar’s PV modules are designed with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. The company strictly adheres to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations, updated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to ensure compliance with the latest requirements concerning Persistent, Bioaccumulative, and Toxic (PBT) chemicals. This adherence protects both the environment and public health. All photovoltaic components undergo the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) tests to confirm the absence of toxic metals such as arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver, demonstrating Boviet Solar’s dedication to producing environmentally safe products.

The incorporation of high-efficiency PERC and TOPCon cell technologies in their PV modules enhances the capture and conversion of solar energy, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of energy production and supporting the shift to renewable energy sources. Boviet Solar’s modules are engineered for durability and long-term performance, even under harsh weather conditions, which minimizes the need for frequent replacements and reduces waste and environmental impact. Furthermore, Boviet Solar’s robust Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) protocols ensure supply chain transparency and uphold high standards in environmental stewardship, solidifying their reputation as an environmentally responsible company.
