6 FAQs about [Technical specifications and standards for producing photovoltaic panels]
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.
Who is required to provide technical datasheets for solar PV panels?
The contractor must provide technical datasheets of the proposed solar PV panels. Preference will be given to panel manufacturers that have an Australian office and employees. Preference given to manufacturers that have Australian based technical support, servicing and warranty claim service.
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.
What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?
Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.
Who is required to install a solar PV system?
All installation work must be performed by accredited CEC installers and documentation proving such accreditation must be submitted to the University. Electrical design of the system must be completed and signed off by an accredited solar PV designer accredited with the CEC.
How big should a PV system be?
The Government estimates the total PV system to be X kW, and will only accept a proposal that is no less than 10% smaller than the estimates. After the contract award, the Contractor can recommend PV system sizes at their discretion, as long as the total aggregated PV system size is within plus/minus 10% of the original estimate.
