What are the standards for photovoltaics?

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.

Do PV modules need energy labelling requirements?

In this context, the Ecodesign and energy labelling requirements for PV modules and inverters currently under analysis by the European Commission and in particular the need for compulsory requirements on the CF of (the manufacturing phase of) PV modules are of great importance.

How much solar PV will be needed in 2025?

Washington, DC: World Bank.” Achieving global goals for access to energy and mitigation of climate change will require a quadrupling of present levels of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation in the developing world by 2025 to reach around 950 gigawatt (GW)1. This represents an investment of more than US$500 billion in new solar PV generation alone.

How many IEC standards are there for photovoltaic technology?

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.

What are the requirements for regulating PV system design and battery function?

First, to regulate system design and battery function: IEC 62124 for stand-alone PV system design recommendations and PV performance evaluation (including battery testing and recovery after periods of low state-of-charge) in a variety of climatic conditions, and IEC 62509 for battery charge controllers.
