After presenting a comprehensive list of possible requirement items and analysing specifications and regulations related to BIPV, this report provides information and proposals to support the development of international BIPV standards, one of the key elements that can contribute to accelerate the market uptake of BIPV.
There are numerous national and international bodies that set standards for photovoltaics. There are standards for nearly every stage of the PV life cycle, including materials and processes used in the production of PV panels, testing methodologies, performance standards, and design and installation guidelines.
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.
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.
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 IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the technological collaboration programmes (TCP’s) on research and development within the International Energy Agency (IEA).
An effort was initiated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology since 2013, and reinforced in the more recent 14th Five Year Plan, with the aim to set standard conditions for the photovoltaic industry and promote a “healthy development” of the industry [12, 13].
After presenting a comprehensive list of possible requirement items and analysing specifications and regulations related to BIPV, this report provides information and proposals to support the development of international BIPV standards, one of the key elements that can contribute to accelerate the market uptake of BIPV.
