Market Leader in Renewable Energy Improves Speed to Market as Newest
Member
Intertek, a leading provider of quality solutions to a range of
industries worldwide, announced that Ingeteam, a market leader in the
development of highly engineered renewable energy equipment and
services, has joined Intertek's SATELLITETM data acceptance
program.
Intertek's SATELLITE data acceptance program integrates speed,
flexibility, and cost effectiveness into the product development process
by accepting internal laboratory test data of qualifying customers,
provided the laboratory meets global quality standard IEC 17025.
Ingeteam’s technology and research and development center for solar
photovoltaic (PV) inverter products in Spain has met the stringent
standards of the program and is now a SATELLITE laboratory. This enables
the company to streamline performance testing of products for
performance and safety, including qualification for Intertek’s ETL
certification, as part of its product development process.
Juan Carlos Jadraque, Director of Ingeteam’s Solar Energy Division,
stated that “Intertek and Ingeteam have been working together for many
years, so it is a great achievement for us to join their SATELLITE
program, mainly for two reasons: the first one is because it is a
recognition from Intertek of a good job from our side, that has been
improved year over year. The second reason is because we are the first
Spanish company to join Intertek’s SATELLITE program and this means that
we are leading the way in our home market.”
Ingeteam’s Solar Energy Division specializes in applying technology and
innovation to the development of photovoltaic (PV) inverters; also
providing control solutions and maintenance services for the renewable
power plants. Promoting the generation of energy from natural sources is
integral to Ingeteam’s corporate environmental policy. Mr. Jadraque
believes that this recognition from Intertek will help Ingeteam to gain
relevance in the U.S. market, where the company has been present for
many years with a production facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
"We are proud to partner with Ingeteam and offer Intertek's SATELLITE
Program as the best vehicle to help them accelerate speed to market for
their solar inverter products," said Sunny Rai, Vice President,
Renewable Energy at Intertek. "As Ingeteam continues to innovate and
expand, Intertek will be there to help ensure their success. Our global
expertise in renewable energy and breadth of services across the full
energy product life cycle aligns with Ingeteam’s international growth
and commitment to new product development."
