Analysis of requirements, specifications and regulation
This document specifies requirements for appearance, durability and safety as well as test meth-ods and designation for laminated solar photovoltaic (PV) glass for use in buildings.
In addition to referencing international electro-technical photovoltaic standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730, typical standards from the building sector are also included, such as: EN 13501 (Safety in case of fire); EN 13022 (Safety and accessibility in use); EN 12758 (Protec-tion against noise).
The IEA Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme (PVPS) is one of the technological collaboration programmes (TCP's) on research and development within the International Energy Agency (IEA).
To summarise, if a crystalline photovoltaic module has been certified according to IEC 61215, this standard represents a quality characteristic with regard to the module's long-term mechanical stability for non-BIPV applications, i.e. ground-based or rooftop BAPV, and compliance with electrical requirements.
Nearly all PV manufacturers (except thin film PV manufacturers) use low iron solar paterned rolled glass. The paterned glass is produced in a different way than the float glass that goes into most flat glass products. Solar glass can be either low-iron paterned glass or low-iron float glass.
The standard defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the PV module end-use applications. Test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress. Status: Currently valid standard, but due for regular ISO review.
