TESTING & CERTIFICATION

Solar Innovations® is dedicated to providing safe, high-performance products to all of our customers. Every product line goes through a stringent process in our in-house testing facility, offering results quickly and efficiently. Our products are continually tested as design improvements are introduced. Certification is granted under the watchful eye of nationally-recognized laboratories. Many of our products meet Florida, NFRC, Miami NOA, TDI, and Acoustical requirements.

Solar Innovations’® Quality Assurance Program is certified by the National Accreditation & Management Institute (NAMI). NAMI specializes in fenestration products, which includes windows, patio doors, skylights, sidelights, entrance doors, transoms, glazing wall systems, site-built products, and insulating glass. NAMI is accredited by ANSI and IAS and is required to operate under ISO Guide 65 and ISO Standard 17020. As a participant of NAMI, Solar Innovations’® Quality Assurance Program is required to comply with ISO Guide 53.

Simulation results or preliminary results can be provided before actual final testing is completed. Testing can also be performed on specific custom products on a case-by-case basis. Units can be considered certified, to fit any rough opening, as long as the individual panel sizes haven’t exceeded the size of like panels that have been certified.

Please contact us if you need a specific requirement which is not listed – we are here to help.

Based on the memorandum from the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs, any product listed on the Florida Building Code Online which meets the state requirements for HVHZ is approved for use in both Miami-Dade and Broward counties of Florida. This allows for HVHZ products to be used in those counties even if the product is not listed on the Miami Dade Building Code website.

Please Note: In addition to the testing standards listed, other standards such as ISO 9001, monitor the internal Quality Management System of a manufacturer within many groups. Not only does NAMI monitor Solar Innovations®’s Internal Quality Management System, but it is also an external source of inspection for product certification to standards expressly for the type of products (fenestration) Solar Innovations® manufactures. Solar Innovations® will continue to ensure the quality of our products through the voluntary participation in the National Accreditation and Manufacturing Institute’s program.  As a proud manufacturer of NAMI, NFRC, and ENERGY STAR qualified products, Solar Innovations® stands behind the quality of the products we deliver to customers.
