ABOUT US - BENEFITS
Solar thermal manufacturers benefit from SRCC certification and rating in three fundamental ways:
- The ability to have a product certified only once
- National recognition and/or reciprocity of the certification with a state-of-the-art rating system
- A reliable means for judging product durability and performance on a relative standard basis
The solar contractor also benefits from the SRCC certification in three ways:
- Product credibility
- A comparison to be used in sales literature
- A defense against unethical competition and false claims
The solar consumer benefits from the SRCC programs as well, with:
- Products bearing a seal of quality assurance
- A means to measure product performance
- Third-party, independent corroboration
- A national, standardized method to compare solar equipment and thereby determine the best buy
Finally the government and states benefit from the SRCC's programs, in that:
- Certification provides a rational basis for tax credit qualifying regulation, as well as a basis for setting codes and standards
