The performance PV standards described in this article, namely IEC 61215 (Ed. 2 – 2005) and IEC 61646 (Ed.2 – 2008), set specific test sequences, conditions and requirements for the design qualification of a PV module.
Standards from this category regulate solar cells (modules) characteristic measurement, solar cells (modules) tests and other standards referring to solar cells (modules) production and testing - production procedure, mechanic or electric photovoltaic module testing, I-U module characteristics measurement etc.
It deals with both performance testing and energy rating. Performance testing, described in Parts 1 and 2, aim to fully characterize the dependence of PV module output on parameters known to impact PV performance, such as irradiance, module temperature, angle of incidence of light onto the module and spectral distribution.
