China Testing & Certification International Group Co., Ltd. (CTC, Stock Code 603060) originated from the testing and certification business of China Building Materials Academy in the 1950s. After 70 years of unremitting efforts and persistent pursuit, the company has formed five business categories: detection and testing, certification and evaluation, testing instruments and intelligent manufacturing, measurement and calibration, scientific research and technical services, committed to providing customers with technical services and comprehensive solutions of detection and testing, certification and evaluation, appraisal, consultation, training, and instruments and equipment in fields of quality, environmental protection, green, safety, health, and energy conservation.

A photovoltaic (PV) power plant, also known as a solar PV power station, operates on the core principle of the photovoltaic effect at the semiconductor interface, converting sunlight directly into electrical energy using solar cells. The main equipment of a PV power plant includes solar PV modules, battery banks (optional), controllers (optional), inverters, combiner boxes, and power distribution units. It offers advantages such as environmental cleanliness, renewable resources, and operational reliability. We provide PV power plant testing services covering six key stages: manufacturing, construction, post-construction, post-operation, mergers & acquisitions, and operation & maintenance (O&M), supported by a professional and dedicated team.
