6 FAQs about [Solar Module Test Standard]

What does a certification mean for a solar module?

Basically, certifications per se do not tell much about the quality of a module. If you buy a solar module with IEC 61215/ 61730/ 61701 etc. certifications, it means that the certification-holding manufacturer managed to produce a few modules of that type that passed a standard's (e.g. IEC 61215) tests at the time of applying for certification.

What are the most common solar panel testing standards & certifications?

Below are some of the most common solar panel testing standards and certifications to look for when comparing solar panels: The IEC is a nonprofit that establishes international assessment standards for a bunch of electronic devices, including photovoltaic (PV) panels.

How are solar modules measured?

Solar modules are measured at STC, Standard Test Conditions, to benchmark the standard performance specifications: Light irradiance of 1,000 W/m 2. Solar cell temperature of 25°C. Maximum power measurement at STC divided by the surface area of the module tells us the module efficiency.

Do solar panels meet IEC 61215 standards?

If a solar panel module successfully meets IEC 61215 standards, that means it completed a number of stress tests and performed well in regards to quality, performance, and safety. IEC 61215 standards apply to both monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV modules, which are the most common types of solar panels.

What are the electrical ratings on solar panel datasheets?

International standards have been developed to do just that, and the electrical ratings displayed on solar panel datasheets follow these standards. Standard Test Conditions (STC) are the industry standard conditions under which all solar PV panels are tested to determine their rated power and other characteristics.

What is solar panel performance testing?

Solar panel performance testing occurs in fixed laboratory conditions, known as Standard Test Conditions (STC). Because these conditions are consistent across the industry, you can compare performance metrics (such as power rating, module efficiency, optimal voltage, etc.) between different solar panels.
