25、hotovoltaic (PV) modules FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerni

26、ng standardization in the electrical and electronic elds. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their prepara

27、tion is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and nongovernmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with

28、 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subje

29、cts since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical

30、content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent po

31、ssible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certication bodies provide conform

32、ity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certication bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors

33、, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out

34、 of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn t

35、o the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61215-1-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 82: Solar photovoltaic energy sy

36、stems. This edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 61215, issued in 2005, and constitutes a technical revision.

37、njunction with IEC 61215-1:2016 and IEC 61215-2:2016. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 82/1047/FDIS 82/1075/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. A li

38、st of all parts in the IEC 61215 series, published under the general title Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules Design qualication and type approval, can be found on the IEC website. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that

39、the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under http:/webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specic publication. At this date, the publication will be reconrmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. FEBRUARY 28,

41、ope and object This part of IEC 61215 lays down IEC requirements for the design qualication and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open air climates, as dened in IEC 60721-2-1. This standard is intended to apply to all crystalline silicon te

42、rrestrial at plate modules. This standard does not apply to modules used with concentrated sunlight although it may be utilized for low concentrator modules (1 to 3 suns). For low concentration modules, all tests are performed using the current, voltage and power levels expected at the design concen

43、tration. The object of this test sequence is to determine the electrical and thermal characteristics of the module and to show, as far as possible within reasonable constraints of cost and time, that the module is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in climates described in the scope. The act

44、ual lifetime expectancy of modules so qualied will depend on their design, their environment and the conditions under which they are operated. This standard denes PV technology dependent modications to the testing procedures and requirements per IEC 61215-1:2016 and IEC 61215-2:2016. 2 Normative ref
