Standards Development
SEIA is taking steps to mitigate risks and lead the solar and storage industries by developing national standards that will build upon SEIA’s Solar+ Decade goals. By developing accredited national standards, SEIA is proactively tackling issues that build confidence among customers, regulators, investors, rating agencies, and other stakeholders. These standards will contribute assurance that solar and storage systems have been ethically, sustainably, and responsibly sourced, manufactured, transported, installed, operated, and recycled.
Executive Standards Committee Leadership Team
The Executive Standards Committee is the guiding body responsible for management and oversight of SEIA’s standards.
Standards Technical Committees
By bringing together industry experts and other stakeholders, SEIA standards improve the functionality of solar, energy storage, and other renewable energy generation and transmission. Participating in SEIA standards offers companies, investors, insurers, contractors, academia, the general public, and other stakeholders that are directly impacted, the opportunity to influence the standards development process.
