6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic bracket test installation requirements and 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.
Will a PV module need additional testing?
Based on changes to both IEC 61730 and IEC 61215, additional testing will almost certainly be required. However, the extent of additional testing will depend on materials, material combinations (different Bill of Materials BOMs) and the fundamental design of the PV module.
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.
Are PV modules compliant with building regulations?
5.5.4 Where mounting systems are certified or listed using a named PV module or modules then only those modules shall be used. The system is compliant with current Building Regulations for weather-tightness, fire and wind resistance.
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 IEC 61730 & how does it affect a PV module?
However, the IEC 61730 places greater emphasis on safety aspects related to protection against electric shock, as well as fire hazards. It is important to note that PV module components can’t be assessed in isolation from the rest of a PV module.
