4 FAQs about Solar energy control system industry standards

Why should solar energy systems be standardized?

Standardization also provides a common language and framework fostering interoperability, efficiency, safety and overall reliability. IEC TC 82: Solar photovoltaic energy systems, produces international standards enabling systems to convert solar power into electrical energy.

What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?

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.

Are photovoltaic solar energy systems safe?

The safe and reliable installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems and their integration with the nation’s electric grid requires timely development of the foundational codes and standards governing solar deployment.

What is accelerating systems integration codes & standards?

The Accelerating Systems Integration Codes and Standards project uses innovative techniques to accelerate the historically slow time that it takes to develop the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1547 standard series.
