Sourcing Solar & LED Products from China
1 resources tagged with "Solar"
Solar and smart LED products are among the most exported categories from Guangdong and Zhejiang factories, but they carry real compliance weight for EU buyers. Panels and modules must hold IEC 61215/61730, while the EU market gate is CE under the LVD and EMC directives plus RoHS for restricted substances. Factory pricing on entry-level solar lights starts low, but a CE/RoHS test report from an accredited Shenzhen lab typically runs $1,500–$4,000 per product family.
When you actually source solar, the common pitfall is a supplier handing you a CE certificate for one model and assuming it covers a whole product line — it does not. We check that the test report SKU matches your exact BOM, battery chemistry, and panel wattage before signing the PO.

FAQ
What certifications do I need to import solar products into the EU?
CE marking under the Low Voltage and EMC directives plus RoHS is the minimum. Solar panels themselves are usually tested to IEC 61215 (performance) and IEC 61730 (safety).
How much does CE/RoHS testing cost for a solar product?
Expect $1,500–$4,000 per product family from an accredited lab, depending on whether the device has wireless functions that also need radio testing.
