![]() ![]() New tests have been added to Part 2 of Edition 2 as the material requirements necessitate the confirmation of their properties during PV module operation. Part 1 of IEC 61730 addresses the minimum requirements for module design while Part 2 deals with the required tests protocols and test sequences. This includes permitting new materials and new designs while at the same time complying with international horizontal standards that need to be met in order to comply with governing national electric codes. In particular, with the revision of IEC 61730 a need to reflect the current understanding of low voltage DC (up to 1,500V d.c.) components and materials used in the construction of PV modules arouse. ![]() safety standards to respond to PV industry needs as well as reflect technological changes and advances. ![]() As a result, during the past two years Working Group 2 (WG2) of the technical committee for Solar Photovoltaic Energy Systems (TC82) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) invested a considerable effort in updating the governing PV module. Since release of Edition 1 of IEC 61730 series the photovoltaic industry has experienced rapid growth and undergone a large number of changes.
