2013-07-18 17:30 1002

TOKYO, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ReneSola Ltd ("ReneSola") (NYSE: SOL), a leading brand and technology provider of solar photovoltaic ("PV") products, today announced its Polycrystalline Silicon Terrestrial PV Module line has been listed by Underwriters Laboratories ("UL") as meeting the applicable standards of the Japanese market.

This achievement follows ReneSola's JPEC (Japan Photovoltaic Expansion Center) and JET (Japan Electrical and Environment Technology Laboratories) certifications earlier this year, two of the biggest administrative hurdles for foreign firms entering Japan's solar market. ReneSola is the first PV company to receive this certification globally.

Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer, said, "UL certification demonstrates the quality and safety of our solar modules for the Japan market. This certification is an essential step in building our business in Japan and reflects our commitment to providing high-quality solar products to the country's end users. We are confident our competitive edge in terms of quality will drive our growth in Japan as we invest in what continues to be one of our fastest growing markets."
