ACE Inventor obtained ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification together on 8 April 2025 — the international standards for quality, environmental and occupational health and safety management.

ISO certification examines the system that makes the product rather than the product itself, which is why it functions as a baseline requirement in public tenders and supplier registration with large corporations. Taking all three at once meant the management system was rebuilt in one pass, timed to the shift into volume production.

Separately, the company runs process inspections including EL and IV testing on every production lot and keeps the records. Micro-cracks in cells and faulty interconnections do not reveal themselves to the eye.

That framework became the basis on which the KS C 8577 audit was passed the following year.

ACE Inventor Inc., founded in November 2022, develops ultra-lightweight building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules. Its core technologies are a water-based hydrogel electrolyte membrane, electrophoretic large-area flexible electrode coating, and ultra-lightweight curved module design using FRP and ETFE composites. The company operates a 50 MW annual production line in Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, and holds KS C 8577 BIPV module certification together with ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. Its patent portfolio includes seven registered Korean patents and one registered US patent, with 23 applications filed in Korea and abroad. Contact info@aceivt.com · www.aceivt.com
