Iec 61215 Solar Panel
Environmental testing part 2 78.
Iec 61215 solar panel. Thin film terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules design qualification and type approval. Tests test cab. Iec 61215 2 2016 cor1 2018 standard rural electrification solar power solar panel photovoltaic pv smart city lvdc corrigendum 1 terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules design qualification and type approval part 2. The iec 61215 tests require 4 times the system voltage 2000v with no more than 50 microamps current flow.
These ratings are supposed to be baseline for safety. The iec sets different testing standards for other types of solar electric technologies such as thin film solar products iec 61646. Abstract iec 61215 1 2016 lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules suitable for long term operation in general open air climates as defined in iec 60721 2 1. Solar panels that meet iec 61215 standards are tested on the following and more.
Tuv rheinland iec 61215 tuv rheinland third party testing and certification ensures trina solar s panels comply with the design and type approval standards set forth in iec 61215 which cover common field performance failures. Nowadays many solar manufacturers produce according this requirement. Photovoltaic module safety. This document is intended to apply to all thin film cu in ga s se 2 based terrestrial flat plate modules.
Iec 61215 standards apply to both monocrystalline and polycrystalline pv modules which are the most common types of solar panels. Iec 61215 for crystalline silicon modules iec 61646 for thin film modules iec 62108 for cpv modules these qualification tests do an excellent job of identifying design materials and process flaws that could lead to premature field failures. This talk will provide a summary of how iec 61215 was. Damp heat steady state.
Abstract iec 61215 1 4 2016 lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long term operation in general open air climates as defined in iec 60721 2 1. Abstract iec 61215 2 2016 is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin film modules. Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules design qualification and type approval.
