Certification mark for Consumer Photovoltaic Module

CERTIFICATION MARK FOR CONSUMER PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) MODULE

SCOPE: 

Design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules suitable for consumer applications for outdoor operation. This standard is intended to apply to terrestrial flat plate modules for which the anticipated having a shorter-term operation than IEC 61215.

BASIS OF CERTIFICATION (TEST REQUIREMENTS): 

Testing and certification according to PPP 58200A which based on draft IEC 63163 (IEC 82/1647/CD), the purpose of this PPP is to determine the electrical, termal, and mechanical durability characteristics of the module and to show that the module is capable of withstanding outdoor exposure for different outdoor durations designated as “low”, “medium”, and “high”.
