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.
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.

The combined expanded uncertainty of the measurement of the maximum power of PV modules, among the most expertise laboratories, is between 1.6% and 3% . The electrical related uncertainty contributions are negligible, while major contribution in uncertainty is related to the irradiance measurement. 2. Diagnostic Measurements
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.
Part 3, still a Committee Draft, describes the calculations for PV module energy rating. Due to the complexity of the procedure of the standard, several laboratories have developed simplified procedures for energy rating of PV modules , , , , , .
