Abstract iec 61215 1 4 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.
Iec 61215 solar panel.
Solar panels that meet iec 61215 standards are tested on the following and more.
Tests test cab.
Photovoltaic module safety.
These ratings are supposed to be baseline for safety.
Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules design qualification and type approval.
Thin film terrestrial photovoltaic pv modules design qualification and type approval.
Damp heat steady state.
When installing solar panels in areas with heavy snow an increased load capacity of 5400pa is advisable.
Environmental testing part 2 78.
Nowadays many solar manufacturers produce according this requirement.

Abstract iec 61215 2 2016 is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin film modules.
Iec 61215 for crystalline silicon modules iec 61646 for thin film modules iec 62108 for cpv modules these qualification tests do an excellent job of identifying design materials and process flaws that could lead to premature field failures.
Iec 61215 standards apply to both monocrystalline and polycrystalline pv modules which are the most common types of solar panels.
The iec 61215 tests require 4 times the system voltage 2000v with no more than 50 microamps current flow.
The iec sets different testing standards for other types of solar electric technologies such as thin film solar products iec 61646.
The ul tests require the insulation be tested at twice the system voltage 1000v and no more than 50 microamps current flow.
