6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic support acceptance specifications]

What standards are included in a photovoltaic system?

In addition to referencing international electro-technical photovoltaic standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and IEC 61730, typical standards from the building sector are also included, such as: EN 13501 (Safety in case of fire); EN 13022 (Safety and accessibility in use); EN 12758 (Protec-tion against noise).

Are solar photovoltaic systems a good investment?

For sites with time-of-use (TOU) and/or demand rates, solar PV systems are to be designed to offset the greatest amount of electricity in higher cost-rate periods and achieve the greatest annual dollar savings. Feasibility evaluations to determine the potential size of solar photovoltaic systems have not been completed.

Do I need to meter a photovoltaic system?

It is assumed that aluminum framed photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on a “post” and rail mounting system, the most common in the industry today, will be installed by the homeowner. While metering the system is encouraged, the specification does not address system wiring elements for associated system sensors or monitoring equipment.

Can a contractor recommend a PV system size?

After the contract award, the Contractor can recommend PV system sizes at their discretion, as long as the total aggregated PV system size is within plus/minus 10% of the original estimate. Certain buildings can be added or subtracted, subject to Governmental approval.

What are the requirements for deploying a PV system?

associated with deploying PV.Licensing standards are important aspects of PV installations. The level of training required, the allowable ratio of licensed electrician to apprentice, and the defin

What are the safety standards for PV modules?

The standard defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the PV module end-use applications. Test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress. Status: Currently valid standard, but due for regular ISO review.
