Mission

The Global Approval Program for Photovoltaics (PV GAP), a not-for-profit international organization, is dedicated to the sustained growth of global photovoltaics (PV) markets to meet energy needs worldwide in an environmentally sound manner. Its mission is to promote and encourage the use of internationally accepted standards, quality management processes and organizational training in the design, fabrication, installation, sales and services of PV systems.
 

Activities

PV GAP promotes the global acceptance of the International Electrotechnical Commission's ( IEC) standards, and, when one does not exist for PV components or systems, develops urgently PV Recommended Specifications (PVRS) by reviewing and utilizing existing national or regional standards or creating new ones. It develops a list of acceptable testing laboratories worldwide, including those in the developing countries. An important goal is to achieve global acceptance of reciprocity.
