A solar (photovoltaic) panel is a collection of solar cells that can be used to generate electricity by the photovoltaic effect. These cells are managed in a grid-like pattern on the floor of solar panels. The <strong>Ministry of New &amp; Renewable Energy (MNRE)<\/strong><sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ministry_of_New_and_Renewable_Energy\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/sup> announced a Compulsory Registration Scheme for solar module manufacturers under the Approved List of Modules &amp; Manufacturers (ALMM), to reduce India&#8217;s dependence on solar-related product imports &amp; marking India as self-reliant. On August 30, 2017, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued an order implementing certification for solar photovoltaic devices. MNRE also directed financial institutes to favour BIS-certified solar power devices over other devices in the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/bis-registration\"><strong>BIS certification<\/strong><\/a> is a voluntary choice of manufacturers. In 2019, MNRE made it mandatory to obtain BIS certification for solar cell, module and inverter manufacturers. Exemptions are made for domestic solar module manufacturers with an annual capacity of less than 50 MW until 2020. This is an addition to the quality check by the Indian Government, which is at present limited to product (BOM) testing through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). In this blog, we will discuss how to obtain BIS Certification for Solar Panels in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Page Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-get-bis-certification-for-solar-panels-in-india\/#Is_It_Necessary_to_Obtain_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels\" >Is It Necessary to Obtain BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-get-bis-certification-for-solar-panels-in-india\/#Documents_Required_for_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels_in_India\" >Documents Required for BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels in India<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-get-bis-certification-for-solar-panels-in-india\/#Procedure_to_Obtain_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels\" >Procedure to Obtain BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-get-bis-certification-for-solar-panels-in-india\/#Consequences_of_Not_Obtaining_BIS_CRS_Certificate\" >Consequences of Not Obtaining\nBIS CRS Certificate<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-get-bis-certification-for-solar-panels-in-india\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_It_Necessary_to_Obtain_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels\"><\/span>Is It Necessary to Obtain BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS operates the\nCRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme under the Scheme II of Schedule II of BIS\n(Conformity Assessment) Regulations, 2018. Further, under this, several\nguidelines have also been formed. The BIS is the national standard body that\nmanifests the quality of the product, either of a manufacturer or brand.\nFurther, it verifies that the product is reliable and secure for customers\ndepending on the standards laid by BIS. BIS Certification Scheme is voluntary\nin nature. However, for several products, compliance with Indian Standards is\nmade compulsory by the Central Government of India. Solar Panels are one of\nthem. In 2019, MNRE made it compulsory for the manufacturers to obtain BIS\ncertification for solar panels, modules &amp; inverters. Though, there are some\nexceptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Documents_Required_for_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels_in_India\"><\/span>Documents Required for BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some vital documents required to obtain BIS Certification for Solar Panels in India:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Copy of Certificate of Incorporation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy of BIS Registration or Certificate, as\napplicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Authorised Letter for authorising the authorised\nsignatory to sign the application<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copy of Certificates declaring Standards through\nAuthorised labs of BIS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affidavit &amp; Indemnity Bond in the prescribed\nformat signed through Authorized Signatory &amp; attested from Judicial\nMagistrate or Notary Public.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Others Documents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Procedure_to_Obtain_BIS_Certification_for_Solar_Panels\"><\/span>Procedure to Obtain BIS\nCertification for Solar Panels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are the Steps required to get BIS Certification for Solar Panels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> First, there would be testing\n&amp; examination to ensure that your product conforms to the Indian standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>There would be documentation to\nverify that the applicant has all the required documents to fill out the\napplication form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>After proper documentation, the\napplication form will be submitted along with the registration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> At last, if the applicant&#8217;s\nproduct confirms the Indian Standards, then they can obtain the BIS certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consequences_of_Not_Obtaining_BIS_CRS_Certificate\"><\/span>Consequences of Not Obtaining\nBIS CRS Certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the order, if any product or item doesn\u2019t conform to the Indian Standard will not be allowed to store, manufacture for selling, distributing, or importing products.

As a result, India met its goal four years earlier than planned. Consider it this way: as solar energy is consumed more, more solar panels are used, and more solar panels are required to get a BIS certification. Before understanding the advantages of BIS certification for solar panels, let&#8217;s look at which certificates are suitable for solar panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"text-left\"><b>Read our Article<\/b>:<mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/how-to-start-a-solar-manufacturing-company-in-india\/\">How to Start a Solar Manufacturing Company in India?<\/a><\/mark><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar panels are devices used to absorb the sun&#8217;s rays and convert them into electricity or heat.
