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.
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 is the load capacity of solar panels?
Mechanical load (hail, wind suction, wind pressure, snow parameters which are responsible for the ageing of PV modules). For the standard IEC 61215 certification, Pa uniform load applies. However: When installing solar panels in areas with heavy snow, an increased load capacity of 5400Pa is advisable.
How much load capacity should a solar system have?
Solar system installers who do installation in areas with heavy snow should definitely use products with an increased load capacity: Pa. The IEC 61646 certification is for Thin-Film PV modules and is in many aspects identical to the international standard IEC 61215 for crystalline modules.
What are the major IEC PV module certifications?
Following an overview about the major IEC PV module certifications: The IEC61215 covers the parameters which are responsible for the ageing of PV modules. This includes all forces of nature: Climate (changing of climate, coldness, warmth, humidity).
