INMETRO
Mandatory Brazilian certification for solar equipment, issued by the Instituto Nacional de Metrologia.
Detailed Explanation
INMETRO (Instituto Nacional de Metrologia, Qualidade e Tecnologia) is mandatory for all solar modules and inverters sold in Brazil. Certification process takes 4-6 weeks for new models and is a major barrier to entry. Modules without INMETRO cannot be imported or legally installed in Brazil. All major Chinese Tier-1 manufacturers (JinkoSolar, LONGi, Trina, Canadian Solar) maintain active INMETRO certification.
