ICC-SRCC is the premier certifier of solar thermal collectors and solar water and air heating systems in North America.
About us
The Solar Rating & Certification Corporation (ICC-SRCC) is a program of the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), a member of the ICC Family of Companies. Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) is an independent, ISO 17065-accredited third-party certification body. SRCC operates certification and listing programs solar thermal products (like solar water heaters and solar air heaters) and small wind turbines. SRCC's certifications are recognized by jurisdictions, utilities and energy experts throughout North America. SRCC's ANSI-approved standards for solar thermal collectors and systems are specified by many incentive programs, regulations and codes. SRCC also provides listing programs for solar thermal products that assist code enforcement professionals to determine whether solar thermal products and systems comply with building codes and applicable standards SRCC's certifications are unique since they provide objective performance ratings for solar thermal collectors and systems. SRCC's OG-100 program rates the performance of solar collectors for different solar intensities, climatic conditions and applications. The OG-300 program uses computer-based modeling to provide performance ratings for the whole solar thermal system (collector, tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, etc). The result is performance ratings for almost 200 locations throughout North America. Estimates of gas or electricity savings are also provided. Incentive programs use this information to provide rebates and consumers use it to make the right choices for their projects. In late 2016, the Small Wind Certification Corporation (SWCC) also became part of SRCC, bringing their well-established small and medium wind turbine certification programs. Much like SRCC programs for solar thermal products, SWCC certification standardizes North American reporting for small and medium wind turbine energy production and sound performance.

New 2025 California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (aka CA Energy Code or Title 24, Part 6) were approved by the California Energy Commission yesterday. The new requirements will go into effect for new and renovated residential and commercial buildings January 1, 2026. For the solar thermal industry new mandatory requirements for pool and spa heaters add solar pool heaters as a prescriptive compliance option (see Section 110.4 (b) and (c). To qualify, total collector area must be at least 60% of the total pool and spa surface area for residential systems and at least 65% for non-residential and multi-family. Collectors must comply with ICC 901/SRCC 100 for collectors and ICC 902/PHTA 902/SRCC 400 for complete solar pool heating systems. New Appendix JA-16 provides more details, including a requirement for product ratings. SRCC certifications to OG-100 and listings to ICC 902/PHTA 902/SRCC 400 provide compliance solutions for solar pool heater manufacturers to meet the new code. Stay tuned for an upcoming SRCC webinar for solar pool heater manufacturers to provide even more details!
