SABER Certificate forSolar Energy Equipment
PV Modules, Inverters, Controllers & Mounting Equipment
A solar system is several separate products, each with its own standards and its own certificate. We break the package down into modules, inverters, controllers, combiner boxes and mounting, then tell you what each part of the file needs.

Product & Regulation
HS Code
HS 8541
Photovoltaic cells and modules. Inverters supplied with them fall under 8504, and mounting structures under their own material heading. The Saudi code runs longer than four digits and is confirmed from the specification, not from the product name.
Regulation
PV module and inverter standards (IEC 61215 / IEC 61730 / IEC 62109 families); grid connection scope under review
Candidate review point, not a declaration that this route applies. Confirmed against the current regulation and model scope before anything is claimed.
Product
PV module, power converter, controller, or balance-of-system part
What the assessment reads the product as, which decides the evidence it asks for.
Types of Solar Energy Equipment
Solar PV modules
Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, bifacial and thin-film panels. Qualified as a type against a specific cell, laminate and factory.
Solar inverters
Grid-tied, hybrid, off-grid and central inverters. Grid connection behaviour is assessed on top of the electrical safety evidence.
Charge controllers
MPPT and PWM controllers for off-grid arrays. Electronic products declared by voltage window and current rating.
Combiner and junction boxes
DC combiner boxes with fuses and surge protection fitted. The box is an assembly, and the devices inside it are separate products.
Mounting structures
Rails, clamps, ground frames and trackers. Assessed mechanically, so wind and load evidence matters more than electrical testing.
Solar cables and connectors
DC cable, MC4-pattern connectors and harnesses. Declared on construction and rated voltage, and sunlight resistance is tested.
Each type is confirmed on its own classification and evidence. Which of them a single certificate can cover depends on how closely the constructions and test reports match.
Documents Required
- Product Details & Model List(every module or inverter model and power rating)
- Datasheet & Manufacturer Details
- Lab Test Report(No report? We can arrange testing.)
- Commercial Invoice & Packing List(needed at the shipment stage, not to start)
The core set. On solar equipment the file also turns on the module or inverter type qualification, the factory it was qualified at, and the declared power rating. Which further documents apply varies with the confirmed classification and the model scope, so the full list is issued per file rather than per category.
Sample Certificate
Illustrative layout only — not an issued certificate, and not a reproduction of one. Certificates are issued by approved conformity assessment bodies, not by BenzilaCert.
Application Examples
Typical files in this product family and the support they call for. Illustrative scenarios, not completed engagements.
- Example 01
Exporter shipping modules from one factory
An illustrative manufacturer supplying several module power classes from one production line. The type qualification is checked against the cell and laminate actually used, because a qualification is tied to the build it was tested on.
- Example 02
Importer bringing in a complete system
An illustrative project consignment of modules, inverters, combiner boxes and rails on one invoice. Four product families, separated and matched to their own evidence before the shipment certificate is requested.
Get Your SABER Certificate
Send the Saudi HS Code if you have it, the product specification and a commercial invoice, and we will come back with the likely route and what is missing.
* Where applicable. Timelines and charges shown are indicative and subject to documentary review, and government and SADAD fees are separate from conformity body, testing and consultancy charges. The applicable Saudi regulation and the exact HS code must be confirmed from the product specification against the current SABER and ZATCA classification.
BenzilaCert is an independent consultancy providing application and documentation support. It is not SASO, SABER or a certificate-issuing authority, and does not issue conformity certificates.
