6 FAQs about [Factory photovoltaic panel classification standards]
What are the standards for photovoltaics?
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.
Why are international standards important in the photovoltaic industry?
ABSTRACT: International standards play an important role in the Photovoltaic industry. Since PV is such a global industry it is critical that PV products be measured and qualified the same way everywhere in the world. IEC TC82 has developed and published a number of module and component measurement and qualification standards.
Do PV modules need to be updated?
As the work of IEC TC 82 has progressed, a number of new standards for PV components and balance of system equipment have been introduced. Accordingly, the requirements for the safety of PV modules must also be updated to reference these new standards and to fully leverage the benefits that can be achieved by compliance with their requirements.
Do photovoltaic modules need a certification test protocol?
A certification test protocol that delivers an accurate and credible estimate of component and system performance is needed. Even with current component qualification information, photovoltaic module performance data must be modified to account for actual conditions.
Can a PV module be classified as solid insulation?
Instead, the effective cementing of insulation layers means that they can’t be separated, allowing it to be classified as solid insulation. In practice, this means that tracking can’t occur at the interfaces between internal layers. Figure 5: Side view of a PV module. The different live parts (e.g. cells, internal wiring) are shown.
How is photovoltaic system performance determined?
Photovoltaic system performance can be determined as the ac system output under Performance Test Conditions (PTC)3 which are defined as Data should be sampled at an interval of no greater than 60 seconds and averaged over an interval of no more than 30 minutes.
