Auxano Solar has obtained IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 certifications for its photovoltaic (PV) modules, reflecting a significant milestone in its clean energy space.

According to a statement, these certifications, awarded by TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized testing and certification body, confirmed that the firms met the rigorous international standards for safety, performance, and durability.

It added that the certification process was made possible through the venture-building support of the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), delivered in partnership with the All On Hub. 

The firm’s Chief Executive Officer, Chuks Umezulora, described the attainment of the certifications as a testament of the firm’s dedication to quality and innovation in the solar energy sector.

He expressed joy in the company’s progress and its implications for the broader energy landscape.

“Auxano Solar is proud to be the first indigenous manufacturer to receive TÜV certification for its solar panels. This certification marks a significant milestone in building trust in locally produced panels in Nigeria. We aspire for Nigerian solar panels to be as highly regarded as Nigerian cables. 

“This accomplishment will not only enhance our market presence but also foster the development of the local solar energy value chain, making solar power more accessible and affordable for Nigerians,” he said.

He added that the certifications also positions Auxano Solar to contribute to high-impact energy access initiatives such as the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP) and the Distributed Access through Renewable Energy Scale-up (DARES) program. 

“These initiatives, supported by the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), GEAPP, the Rockefeller Foundation, and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), aim to electrify 300 million people across Africa by 2030,” he said.

Caroline Eboumbou, CEO of All On said the certifications would strengthen the firm’s technical and operational capacity and further its mission to deliver high-quality, reliable solar solutions.
