Anotation

IEC 61215-1:2021 lays down requirements for the design qualification of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in open-air climates. The useful service life of modules so qualified will depend on their design, their environment and the conditions under which they are operated. Test results are not construed as a quantitative prediction of module lifetime. This document 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. This second edition of IEC 61215-1 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 61215-1, published in 2016. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a. Addition of a test taken from IEC TS 62782. b. Addition of a test taken from IEC TS 62804-1. c. Addition of test methods required for flexible modules. This includes the addition of the bending test (MQT 22). d. Addition of definitions, references and instructions on how to perform the IEC 61215 design qualification and type approval on bifacial PV modules. e. Clarification of the requirements related to power output measurements. f. Addition of weights to junction box during 200 thermal cycles. g. Requirement that retesting be performed according to IEC TS 62915. h. Removal of the nominal module operating test (NMOT), and associated test of performance at NMOT, from the IEC 61215 series. The contents of the corrigendum of May 2021 have been included in this copy. LIEC 61215-1:2021 etablit les exigences concernant la qualification de conception des modules photovoltaiques terrestres appropries a un fonctionnement de longue duree dans des climats a l’air libre. La duree de vie utile des modules ainsi qualifies depend de leur conception, de leur environnement et de leurs conditions de fonctionnement. Les resultats d’essai ne sont pas une prevision quantitative de la duree de vie des modules. Le present document est destine a sappliquer a tous les materiaux de modules a plaque plane pour applications terrestres, tels que les types de modules au silicium cristallin et les modules a couches minces. Il ne s’applique pas aux systemes qui ne constituent pas des applications de longue duree, comme les modules flexibles installes dans des auvents ou des tentes. Cette deuxieme edition de lIEC 61215-1 annule et remplace la premiere edition de lIEC 61215-1 parue en 2016. Cette edition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport a ledition precedente: a. Ajout d’un essai issu de l’IEC TS 62782. b. Ajout d’un essai issu de l’IEC TS 62804-1. c. Ajout de methodes d’essai exigees pour les modules flexibles. Cette disposition inclut l’ajout de l’essai de flexion (MQT 22). d. Ajout de definitions, references et instructions concernant le mode de realisation de la qualification de la conception et de l’homologation IEC 61215 des modules photovoltaiques bifaces. e. Clarification des exigences relatives aux mesurages de la puissance de sortie. f. Ajout de poids a la boite de jonction pendant 200 cycles thermiques. g. Exigence stipulant de realiser un contre-essai conformement a l’IEC TS 62915. h. Suppression de l’essai nominal de fonctionnement du module (NMOT - nominal module operating test), et de l’essai associe de performances a la temperature nominale de fonctionnement du module (NMOT - nominal module operating temperature), issus de la serie IEC 61215. Le contenu du corrigendum de mai 2021 ne sapplique qua la version anglaise
