Renewable Energy Testing Services

World Cal, along with its sister companies, Liberty Labs and Iron Eagle Technologies, is excited to announce newly acquired testing capabilities for renewable energy sources. (View some of our test fixtures )

This move comes at a time when renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are moving into the forefront as alternatives to fossil fuels to feed our energy needs world-wide.

World Cal is not only a testing facility for certification to UL and IEC standards for these products, but also a consumer. We have multiple solar arrays installed at our facilities, and have plans to install over 300 kW of solar production over the coming years, and are working on switching our corporate fleet over to electric vehicles where possible.

We are on a timeline to provide accredited testing to the following standards by mid-July, 2010:

  • UL 1703
  • UL 1741
  • IEC 61730
  • IEC 61215
  • IEC 61646
  • IEC 1547
  • IEC 62116
  • IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-3

Successful completion of all pertinent standards will qualify your product for the GREAT mark, signifying it is a product of great quality and craftsmanship.  We seek to provide higher accuracy, increased data points, and quicker turnaround times than our competitors, to get your product on the market as quickly as possible.
