Step 1 – Fill in the Checklist (before registering)

First, and before registering, download the free Checklist to do a first self-evaluation to see if you pass the Mark’s stringent requirements that are based on the O&M Best Practices Guidelines. The Checklist is an Excel tool that will calculate your score and determine whether you comply based on your answers. If it turns out that you have not yet passed the requirements, then you can implement optimisation measures in your organisation to increase your score.

Step 2 – Compile your Technical Dossier (before registering)

Second (still before registering), put together your Technical Dossier. The Technical Dossier is a set of documents to substantiate your Checklist. The required documents are listed in the Checklist.

Step 3 – Register here, once done with the first two steps

Once you have passed the requirements, filled in the Checklist and put together the Technical Dossier, the third step is to sign up by filling in the registration form below. When registering, you will accept the Terms of Use in which you will declare that you have successfully passed the Mark’s requirements. As the Mark is based on self-certification, you bear sole responsibility for ensuring completeness of your Checklist and Technical Dossier, which will not be verified by SolarPower Europe. As soon as you have registered, your company will appear in the Companies Directory and you will gain access to the Communications Toolkit including the logo of the Mark that you can display on your website and other publicity materials. Note that your Checklist and Technical Dossier will not be published on the website nor shared with SolarPower Europe. You are in charge of storing, maintaining and sharing your documents upon request, while SolarPower Europe provides the platform and the tool.

Step 4 – Update your documents annually

SolarPower Europe’s O&M Task Force updates the Checklist annually. (If you would like to be part of this initiative, join SolarPower Europe.) Each year the Checklist is updated and a new version of the logo is issued containing the reference year. You will be informed when a new version of the Mark and the Checklist is available.
