Core Viewpoint - The China Quality Certification Center (CQC) is enhancing quality management standards for photovoltaic companies, facilitating their entry into international markets through the development of a network-based certification model and international standards [1][2]. Group 1: Introduction - CQC, established in 1984, is the largest national certification body in China, with a presence in over 60 countries and a significant role in developing national and international standards in the renewable energy sector [1]. Group 2: Background - Chinese renewable energy companies face two main challenges in international competition: fragmented international standards increasing compliance costs and insufficient alignment between domestic certification systems and international rules, leading to trust barriers [2]. Group 3: Main Practices - CQC has developed quality certification standards that align with international requirements, creating the Grid Network Capability Index (GNI) model and the first global technical specification for grid-connected energy storage systems, which has been adopted by the UK National Grid [3]. - A closed-loop certification model has been established, integrating research, testing, certification, and production, which has led to significant improvements in technology and reduced testing costs by 65% [4]. - CQC has created a compliance toolkit for overseas expansion, which has reduced certification cycles by 40%, exemplified by a project that took only 11 days to complete [5]. Group 4: Results and Impact - The four-in-one service model has led to the establishment of a comprehensive standard system that enhances the quality of the energy storage industry, with a 15%-20% increase in product premium capabilities for domestic storage products [6]. - CQC's standards have facilitated entry into high-end European markets, generating over $200 million in initial export revenue and laying the groundwork for expansion into emerging markets along the Belt and Road Initiative [6]. Group 5: Lessons Learned - CQC's innovative service model addresses the challenges faced by the photovoltaic storage industry, breaking the monopoly of Western standards and creating a framework for international market entry [7]. - A three-phase approach to international expansion has been identified, emphasizing the collaboration between government, certification bodies, and leading enterprises to effectively navigate international standards and compliance [8].
