Solar integrated Technologies announced yesterday that the Company has achieved International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 certification for its quality management system.  The certification is for the design, manufacture and marketing of proprietary BIPV systems for commercial roofing and portable solar applications worldwide.

According to CEO Jon W. Slangerup ,"This ISO certification gives Solar Integrated another competitive differentiator and provides our customers with added confidence in their decision to partner with us."

I don't know how important this bureaucratic qualification is but no doubt some of you may have noticed a major movement in the stock today.

At the time of posting, the last trade was at 210p - up over 12% on the day and an all-time high. This matters because SIT has missed out on the spectacular boom in solar stocks that so many other solar companies have enjoyed.

So maybe SIT is just arriving late at the party?
