Foreign documents on photovoltaic inverters

What are ecodesign requirements for the durability of PV inverters?

The formulation of Ecodesign requirements for the durability of PV inverters could follow an approach conceptually similar to the one used for PV modules. The design qualification of inverters according to test sequence set out in IEC 62093 is proposed as a minimum requirement.

Are there regulatory approaches to the manufacturing process of PV modules & inverters?

the quality control of the manufacturing process of PV modules and inverters. Given the innovative nature of such regulatory solutions, dedicated analyses on policy as well as legal aspects are developed. To this extent, potential regulatory approaches are sketched in the document.

What is a sustainability standard for photovoltaic modules & inverters?

The Sustainability Standard for photovoltaic modules and inverters is a set of product sustainability performance criteria and corporate performance metrics that exemplify sustainability leadership in the market.

Where can I send a comment on a photovoltaic module?

Comments should be sent to Chair, Joint Committee on Sustainability Leadership Standard for Photovoltaic Modules and Photovoltaic Inverters at [email protected], or c/o NSF International, Standards Department, PO Box 130140, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48113-0140, USA.

Are micro-inverters and power optimisers excluded from the scope of PV modules?

For the purpose of modelling module level power electronic components such as micro-inverters and power optimisers are proposed to be excluded from the scope of PV modules. Instead it is proposed that the potential benefits are analysed within the PV systems scope.

What is the scope of inverters for photovoltaic applications?

The first proposal for the product definition and scope of inverters for photovoltaic applications is presented below. An inverter is as an electric energy converter that changes the direct electric current (DC) output from a solar photovoltaic array to single-phase or polyphase alternating current (AC). The scope shall correspond to:
