What certifications apply to solar inverters?

There are several certifications that apply to solar inverters, including EN 50524, EN 50530, UL 1741, IEC 61683, IEC 62109-1, and IEC 62109-2. Before going into more detail, let’s briefly discuss the main certification bodies that design and safeguard these certification standards for solar inverters.

What is the European standard for photovoltaic inverters?

This European Standard describes datasheet and nameplate information for photovoltaic inverters in grid parallel operation. The intent of this document is to provide the minimum information required to configure a safe and optimal system with photovoltaic inverters.

Are inverters covered by IEC 62109?

Other hazards. This standard provides general requirements applicable to all types of PV PCE. Part 2 of IEC 62109 covers the particular safety requirements relevant to DC to AC inverter products intended for use in photovoltaic power systems. Inverters are covered by this standard.

What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?

Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.

Do I need a test certificate for a solar inverter?

If solar inverter installed is as per iec std . Then any test certificate of local body is required to submit to DISCOM authority. All the Grid Tie Inverters are accompanied with their lab test report from the country of origin.
