Spire Corp. announced that its photovoltaic (‘PV') module design and Bill of Materials (BOM) have achieved the Master UL Listing by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Spire worked closely with FLEXcon for back sheet material, and Arkema for encapsulation materials to design this latest approved module.

This module joins Spire's previous listings, and allows Spire customers more selection in choosing a module design and BOM that is pre-approved by UL. PV system integrators require UL 1703 certified PV modules due to the high safety and quality standards of their installed PV systems. UL has tested and evaluated Spire's PV module design and determined that it meets the UL 1703 standards for safety and performance. In addition to the safety and performance qualification, Spire's newest module design with UL Master Listing incorporates several customer benefits, including: Faster time to achieve UL certification, Fraction of the total cost to submit a module for design-type qualification, Minimal risk of failing UL testing, Module design and BOM can be retroactive for previous customers of Spire, and Made with FLEXcon backsheet which utilizes the proven protection of Kynar(R) film to enhance durability.
