Solar Panel Standards

A pv junction box is attached to the back of the solar panel and functions as its output interface.

Solar panel standards.

The clean energy council has compiled a list of approved products including solar pv modules panels and grid connect inverters that meet these standards. Most solar modules are made using silicon crystalline cells the majority of solar cell modules are manufactured in china over the last 10 years many companies have entered and left the solar module manufacturing market manufacturers typically warranty their solar modules 10 30 yrs and inverters 5 15 yrs. In order to qualify for government incentives for the solar pv system installers must use equipment approved and listed by the clean energy council. The manufacture specifications on solar panels are obtained under standard condition which is not the real operating condition the solar panels are exposed to on the installation site.

Solar abcs activities with ieee the solar abcs is currently involved with the ieee standards coordinating committee 21 on fuel cells photovoltaics dispersed generation and energy storage ieee scc21.
