Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval - Part 1-3: Special requirements for testing of thin-film amorphous silicon based photovoltaic (PV) modules EN 61215-1-3:2017

Publication date:   Oct 17, 2017

Scope

IEC 61215-1-3:2016 lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. This document is intended to apply to all thin-film amorphous silicon (a-Si; a-Si/µc-Si) based terrestrial flat plate modules. As such, it addresses special requirements for testing of this technology supplementing <a href="https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/24312">IEC 61215-1:2016 and <a href="https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/24311">IEC 61215-2:2016 requirements for testing.
