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.
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.
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.
