There are numerous national and international bodies that set standards for photovoltaics. There are standards for nearly every stage of the PV life cycle, including materials and processes used in the production of PV panels, testing methodologies, performance standards, and design and installation guidelines.
Standards from this category regulate solar cells (modules) characteristic measurement, solar cells (modules) tests and other standards referring to solar cells (modules) production and testing - production procedure, mechanic or electric photovoltaic module testing, I-U module characteristics measurement etc.
This whitepaper is titled ‘Solar Energy International Standards’. Below we are summarizing the principle ISO and IEC standards. This standard relates to performance monitoring and analysis of solar energy plants, from irradiance input to AC power output. It defines terminology and classifies instruments and methods.
Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.
The performance PV standards described in this article, namely IEC 61215 (Ed. 2 – 2005) and IEC 61646 (Ed.2 – 2008), set specific test sequences, conditions and requirements for the design qualification of a PV module.
Mechanical load (hail, wind suction, wind pressure, snow parameters which are responsible for the ageing of PV modules). For the standard IEC 61215 certification, 2400 Pa uniform load applies. However: When installing solar panels in areas with heavy snow, an increased load capacity of 5400Pa is advisable.
