Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules – Design qualification and type approval

Part 1: Test requirements

(IEC 61215-1:2021 + COR1:2021); German version EN IEC 61215-1:2021 + AC:2021
Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2022-02
VDE Art. No.: 0100672

This part of IEC 61215 lays down IEC requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates. This standard is intended to apply to all terrestrial flat plate module materials such as crystalline silicon module types as well as thin-film modules. It does not apply to systems that are not long-term applications, such as flexible modules installed in awnings or tenting.
