As ReneSola continues to expand their presence worldwide, Intertek will be there to help ensure their success."
ReneSola’s Jiangsu Product Center Laboratory, part of their expansive OEM and sales network, includes the latest-generation equipment to enable engineers to measure and validate product performance data. "By joining the SATELLITE program, we can better coordinate testing and certification with our product development cycles, which should not only reduce our overall testing costs but also shorten the time needed to take our products to market," said Dr. Bill Hou, Director of ReneSola’s product center. "ReneSola has always dedicated itself to the highest levels of product quality and performance, so we are proud to be teaming with Intertek, which shares our commitment to quality control."
