CAcert offers FREE certificate for testing purpose or internal use only.

CAcert does not offer EV certificate due to some ev requirement and security.

Other free certificate and already trusted on major browser is StartCom SSL. this is Israel based company and you can get free SSL for non-profit purpose such as educational website, fundrising etc. they will reject comercial request but you can buy there with lowest price. EV green certificate also offered.
