ISO 9001:2015 certification signals that an organization has put in place a quality management system designed to support consistency, accountability and continual improvement. To achieve certification, Bila Solar implemented a formal QMS aligned with globally recognized ISO standards, documented and deployed key procedures across the organization, conducted internal audits and successfully completed a rigorous two-stage audit by an accredited third-party registrar. The process evaluates not only documentation, but also whether the system is functioning effectively in practice across day-to-day operations.
“Bila Solar has built an efficient and effective quality management system that reflects a strong commitment to meeting customer expectations,” said Joel Pecoraro, the Lead Auditor for the accredited certification body, American Certification Group.
For Bila Solar, the certification serves as independent confirmation that its quality systems are embedded throughout the business and help ensure disciplined manufacturing, consistent product quality and accountability at every stage of production. The standard emphasizes a process-based approach, risk-based thinking, operational control and continuous improvement — all critical elements for building customer confidence and supporting long-term manufacturing excellence aligned with global quality expectations.
“Achieving this certification on such an accelerated timeline says a great deal about our team,” said Wei-Tai Kwok, President, Bila Solar. “People across the organization came together to build, document and implement a QMS that reflects the consistency and accountability we want to be known for. It is a testament to the experience and dedication of our team and their commitment to building the right foundation from day one.”
With certification now in place, Bila Solar will undergo regular surveillance audits and ongoing system review to maintain compliance and support continuous improvement. For customers and partners, the certification provides meaningful third-party validation that Bila Solar has the systems, controls and structure needed to deliver with consistency. It speaks to the maturity of the company’s operations, the strength of its team and its commitment to continuous improvement, as it helps strengthen domestic solar manufacturing.
“This certification validates the work we have done to build a manufacturing operation grounded in quality, consistency and accountability,” said Kenneth Stead, Director of Manufacturing Operations, Bila Solar. “It gives our customers and partners added confidence that Bila Solar has the processes and controls in place to deliver reliable, high-quality modules manufactured here in the United States.”
