What is PD IEC/TS 61836-Solar photovoltaic energy systems about?
PD IEC/TS 61836 is a Technical Specification that deals with the terms, definitions, and symbols from national and international solar photovoltaic standards and relevant documents used within the field of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. It includes the terms, definitions, and symbols compiled from the published IEC technical committee 82 standards.
PD IEC/TS 61836 is "what do the words mean" and not "under what conditions do the terms apply".
Who is PD IEC/TS 61836-Solar photovoltaic energy systems for?
PD IEC/TS 61836 on solar photovoltaic energy systems is useful for:
- PV module manufacturers
- PV power system manufacturers
- Photoelectric device manufacturers
- Solar energy engineering industry
- Product designers
- Quality assurance and testing personnel
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 61836-Solar photovoltaic energy systems?
A photovoltaic (PV) system is made up of one or more solar panels, an inverter, and other electrical and mechanical components that use solar energy to generate electricity.
Compliance with PD IEC/TS 61836 can help you standardize terms for solar photovoltaic standards and relevant documents used within the field of solar photovoltaic energy systems to help prevent misinterpretation and miscommunication, eliminate the ambiguity in the implementation of solar photovoltaic energy systems.
Adopting PD IEC/TS 61836 terms and definitions of the photovoltaic system provides you with systematization in order to have a consolidated glossary for experts’ common understanding.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC/TS 61836:2016 supersedes DD CLC/TS 61836:2009 which is withdrawn. PD IEC/TS 61836:2016 has the main technical change with regard to the DD CLC/TS 61836:2009 consists of adding/revising terms and definitions which have been discussed and agreed on during the recent TC 82 WG 1 meeting, more particularly at the WG 1 meeting in Pretoria in 2015-11.
