6 FAQs about [National standards for solar photovoltaic panels]
Should guidance on solar PV be included in the National Policy Statement?
The solar industry very much welcomes the addition of guidance on solar PV to the National Policy Statement for renewable energy infrastructure. However, there are several provisions which could be strengthened, which we have outlined below.
What's new in PV standards?
Limited the documents applicability to PV modules rated for 1500 V or less maximum system voltage. Provides details on how to qualify modules at all voltages up to 1500 V. Added restrictions that this standard does not cover PV modules that incorporate electronics. This will be the subject of a new standard that is now in development.
What is a solar code of practice?
This Code of Practice sets out the requirements for the design, specification, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Key safety considerations in the protection and earthing of PV systems mounted on buildings and on the ground is covered in detail.
Why do we need a global standard for PV?
One set of worldwide standards helps make PV cost effective. It also allows developers of new technologies or new materials to know what specifications and tests they are going to have to qualify to before they can commercialize those products. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
Do I need a DNO before installing a solar PV system?
