Basically, certifications per se do not tell much about the quality of a module. If you buy a solar module with IEC 61215/ 61730/ 61701 etc. certifications, it means that the certification-holding manufacturer managed to produce a few modules of that type that passed a standard''s (e.g. IEC 61215) tests at the time of applying for certification.
