Quality & Compliance

Prequalification and tendering processes – the market access of the future

Quality & compliance in the global solar industry

New requirements due to the Supply Chain Act

The Supply Chain Duty of Care Act(LkSG) has been in force in Germany since January 1, 2023. This law presents companies with the challenge of making their supply chains more transparent and legally compliant. In the solar industry in particular, the origin of materials, due diligence obligations and liability issues are becoming massively more important.
Transparency, compliance and proactive overfulfilment of legal requirements are increasingly becoming key features for quality and competitiveness.

Tenders in the solar industry: Prequalification is becoming a criterion for success

International EPCs and operators of solar installations already rely on strict prequalification processes when selecting suppliers. Only those who meet the complex compliance requirements are granted access to high-caliber tenders.

In order to be included in the exclusive circle of preferred suppliers, providers must prove their conformity with extensive catalogs of criteria. These include legal obligations as well as individual, project-specific requirements from clients.
The result: the requirements for manufacturers and suppliers of solar components such as mounting systems are being redefined – prequalification is becoming an entry ticket for international projects.

MEISER Solar: Certified and prequalified partner worldwide

MEISER Solar meets the strict prequalification requirements of leading EPC service providers in Germany and abroad.
We not only supply high-quality mounting systems for PV systems, but also create a real competitive advantage for our partners through maximum transparency, traceability and care.
Our understanding of quality does not end with the product: we actively support our customers’ compliance process and ensure legally compliant, traceable supply chain management.

Typical requirements in the prequalification of manufacturers

Tender documents often require proof of compliance with international norms and standards. These include:

DIN, EN, ISO, IEC standards
EN 1090-2: Execution of steel structures
EN 1990: Fundamentals of structural design (Eurocode 0)
EN 1991-1-3 / -1-4: Effects of snow and wind
EN 1993-1-1 / -1-8: Design of steel structures
EN 1997: Geotechnical design
EN 1998-1: Earthquake design

Our clients’ contracts regularly contain specifications for compliance with international, national and regional standards and norms.

Industry recommendations from the VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) or the AISE (American Iron and Steel Engineers) are also often part of the requirements.

Companies that focus on transparent supply chains, legally compliant processes and international standard compliance at an early stage not only secure access to high-quality projects, but also strengthen their position as a reliable partner in the global solar market.

In the context of growing regulatory requirements and an increasingly globalized market, it is crucial for EPCs and project developers to rely on partners who not only deliver in compliance with standards, but are also able to meet complex requirements along the entire value chain.
MEISER Solar impresses with its in-depth expertise, standardized documentation processes and proactive communication with technical contacts.
