IEC has developed a series of standards specifically for solar PV systems, addressing various aspects such as design, installation, operation, and maintenance. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key IEC standards relevant to solar PV systems:
Parameters of photovoltaic panels (PVPs) is necessary for modeling and analysis of solar power systems. The best and the median values of the main 16 parameters among 1300 PVPs were identified. The results obtained help to quickly and visually assess a given PVP (including a new one) in relation to the existing ones.
The efficiency ranges for star rating are decided based on the analysis of more than two hundred PV panels across from thirteen PV panel manufacturers. Currently, 60% of the PV panels are spread across 3-star and 4-star ratings (see Table 5). Solar PV panels are covered under CRS(Compulsory Registration Scheme).
In the technical committee, meeting manufacturers mentioned that combining both the thermal coefficient of power (δ) and efficiency (η) for different types (especially the technology) of Solar PV panels cells in a single performance rating matrix may not be the technically correct way of rating a PV panel(Table 1).
Absence of a regulation or performance standard for Solar PV & Solar Water heaters has resulted as a challenge to consumers in making an informed choice while purchasing this equipment.
The growth of the PVPP market determines the growth of photovoltaic panel (PVP) production. However, in each case, it is necessary to investigate the efficiency of PVPs and the overall performance of the systems in order to select the best PVPs for installation in a specific geographic location.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide.
