Delta Electronics Achieves Level 1 JC-STAR Certification for C Series and PCS3000 Energy Solutions

Delta Electronics Secures JC-STAR Certification

Delta Electronics Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has achieved notable recognition with its all-in-one energy storage system, C Series, and its power conversion system, PCS3000, earning the Level 1 JC-STAR certification. This certification, managed by the Independent Administrative Institution Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA), confirms that these products meet the cybersecurity standards within Japan, ensuring customers can use them confidently.

The C Series and PCS3000 systems combine energy storage solutions, control systems, and operational software into a unified package designed to meet stringent security compliance requirements. This significant milestone not only underlines Delta Electronics’ commitment to cybersecurity but also highlights their proactive approach ahead of upcoming regulatory changes.

Importance of Certification — Anticipating Future Regulatory Requirements

In a recent meeting of the Electricity System Development Promotion Organization (OCCTO), it has been concluded that after April 2027, new solar energy and battery systems connecting to the grid must utilize control systems with JC-STAR Level 1 certified communication capabilities. By obtaining this certification, the C Series complies with this future requirement, allowing it to be utilized in ongoing grid connection projects beyond April 2027. Furthermore, the PCS3000 has already achieved this key certification on its own.

Additionally, this certification aligns with various subsidy grant criteria from both the national and local governments, assuring clients that they can confidently adopt these energy storage systems without concerns regarding compliance.
