PV PANELS & MODULES
The latest edition of IEC 61730 was published in 2016 in response to industry advancement in solar technology and the continual pressure to source lower-cost photovoltaic (PV)
Let's take a closer look at some of the key IEC standards relevant to solar PV systems: This standard specifies the requirements for the design qualification and type approval of crystalline silicon PV modules suitable for long-term operation in terrestrial environments.
These standards include: IEC 61215: The IEC 61215 is one of the core testing standards for solar panels. It specifies the requirements for design qualification and approval of crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules, especially for non-US countries.
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 IEC has developed several standards for solar PV, including IEC 61215, IEC 61646, IEC 61730, IEC 62108, IEC 61701, and IEC 62716. UL is an independent certification organization that provides safety and quality certifications for various products, including solar cell manufacture.
