- The quality factor of PV module is one of the important issues in ensuring the reliability of the PV power system.
- The Indonesian government has issued the Minister of Energy No. 2/2021, concerning Application of Quality Standards for Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules in accordance with SNI IEC 61215:2016.
- The study is focused on PV modules with crystalline silicon (c-Si) cells, which represent the dominant technology with over 90% of the market share and of cumulative installations
- The test standards includes:
- SNI IEC 61215-1:2016, Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules – Design qualification and type approval – Part 1: Test requirements
- SNI IEC 61215-1-1:2016, Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules – Design qualification and type approval – Part 1-1: Special requirements for testing of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules
- SNI IEC 61215-2:2016, Terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules – Design qualification and type approval – Part 2: Test procedures
- Testing research scopes:
- Initial qualification of PV module design
- Extension of PV module design qualification (re-testing).
