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.
As a generic text, this SMQS (Solar Module Quality Standard) series of specifications represents a way of simplifying the purchasing process: Requirements are described in general terms and a selec-tion option for specifying the technical conditions to be agreed upon in the purchasing contract is de-fined.
This document is applicable to organizations manufacturing photovoltaic (PV) modules certified to IEC 61215 series and IEC 62108 for design qualification and type approval and IEC 61730 for safety qualification and type approval.
“Solar modules are the heart of every photovoltaic system, and a uniform quality standard is long overdue,” said Monika Leiner, category manager for solar modules at Goldbeck Solar.
New standards under development include qualification of junction boxes, connectors, PV cables, and module integrated electronics as well as for testing the packaging used during transport of modules. After many years of effort, a draft standard on Module Energy Rating should be circulated for review soon.
Solar mod-ules are the central component for the direct generation of electrical energy from natural sunlight through the photovoltaic (PV) effect and a central component of solar PV systems. Solar modules are manufactured as a mass product and are typically purchased in large quantities.
