The European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has been awarded Accredited Calibration Laboratory status.
The European Solar Test Installation (ESTI) at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has been awarded Accredited Calibration Laboratory status. ESTI has become the first laboratory world wide to independently demonstrate the calibration and traceability of the power measurements of solar electricity systems to the SI international system of units.

The organisation has been delivering power measurements to the European photovoltaic industry for more than two decades and has developed and pioneered many of the international standards and procedures adopted world wide for the measurement and calibration of solar electricity. ESTI can also measure Euros per Watt to determine the profit or loss of Europe's rapidly expanding solar electricity industry.

ESTI is pro-actively investing in the international harmonisation of test procedures, by participation in standards bodies (notably the International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC) and agreements on quality assurance for photovoltaic products. Accreditation under the ISO17025 standard requires a living quality system, validation and verification procedures, participation in international intercomparisons, and defined measurement certainties. ESTI is the first laboratory meeting these stringent requirements on accreditation for calibration by the French COFRAC accreditation body.
