6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic cell and module standardization]

What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?

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.

How are photovoltaic modules regulated?

The production of photovoltaic modules in the United States is regulated by the federal Clean Air (1970) and Clean Water (1972) Acts that are applied to any industrial production.

How many IEC standards are there for photovoltaic technology?

There are currently 169 published IEC standards by TC-82 related to photovoltaic technology, and work is in progress for 69 more (new ones or revisions). This set of standards is the most broadly used by the scientific community and technicians in research centres and companies.

What are the requirements for regulating PV system design and battery function?

First, to regulate system design and battery function: IEC 62124 for stand-alone PV system design recommendations and PV performance evaluation (including battery testing and recovery after periods of low state-of-charge) in a variety of climatic conditions, and IEC 62509 for battery charge controllers.

Why do PV modules need different suppliers?

As PV has become a large, worldwide commercial business many PV module manufacturers are purchasing some of the components in their module from different suppliers. This has been particularly important for junction boxes, connectors and cables.

What are the regulatory levels for photovoltaic systems?

At least three regulatory levels for the production, installation, operation and end of life of photovoltaic systems can be considered. Additionally, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology is also regulated by standards. In this chapter, the three levels are presented.
