4 FAQs about Solar Module Quality Standards

What are the standards for solar panels?

These standards include: IEC 61215: The IEC 61215 is one of the core testing standards for solar panels. It specifies the requirements for design qualification and approval of crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules, especially for non-US countries.

What are the UL standards for solar PV?

The IEC has developed several standards for solar PV, including IEC 61215, IEC 61646, IEC 61730, IEC 62108, IEC 61701, and IEC 62716. UL is an independent certification organization that provides safety and quality certifications for various products, including solar cell manufacture.

What are the IEC standards for solar panels?

The IEC has developed several standards for solar modules that manufacturers must comply with to obtain certifications. These standards include: IEC 61215: The IEC 61215 is one of the core testing standards for solar panels.

What does a certification mean for a solar module?

Basically, certifications per se do not tell much about the quality of a module. If you buy a solar module with IEC 61215/ 61730/ 61701 etc. certifications, it means that the certification-holding manufacturer managed to produce a few modules of that type that passed a standard's (e.g. IEC 61215) tests at the time of applying for certification.
