VALIDATION OF NON-STANDARD PV (SOLAR) PANELS BY IEC 61215

Szabolcs Benedek

Abstract

The spreading of photovoltaic (PV) systems as solar panels can be seen around the entire world. The product authorisation and validation process in the case of standard size roof solar panels is a wellestablished practice, however there are an endless variety of non-standard size PV panels. The validation of such units is not always a standard and straightforward procedure, as it is not always clear whether a PV panel is an electrical device or a building material. This paper discusses a possible methodology of the validation of non-standard size PV elements according to the IEC 61215 standard [1].
