The scope of iec tc82 is to prepare international standards for photovoltaic systems that convert solar energy into electrical energy as well as for all the elements in the entire photovoltaic energy system.
Iec solar panels.
This document define classifications of solar simulators for use in indoor measurements of terrestrial photovoltaic devices.
Iec 61215 standards apply to both monocrystalline and polycrystalline pv modules which are the most common types of solar panels.

The photovoltaic pv industry has experienced incredibly fast transformation after year 2000 as a result of extraordinary technology breakthroughs from the material level up to large scale module manufacturing.
Iec 60904 9 2020 is applicable for solar simulators used in pv test and calibration laboratories and in manufacturing lines of solar cells and pv modules.
Solar installers that are operating in a highly corrosive atmosphere such as near the sea the resistance of pv panels against the corrosive effects should be checked.
The iec tc82 is comprised of five working groups which are shown below.
Basic understanding of iec standard testing for photovoltaic panels.
The iec tc82 develops and adopts all pv related standards.
If a solar panel module successfully passes the iec 61215 standards it s completed a number of stress tests and performs well in regards to quality performance and safety.
The iec 61701 certifications stipulate standards regarding the resistance requirements of photovoltaic pv modules against salt mist corrosion.
