Basic Standards for Terrestrial PV ModulesPerformance and Design Qualification
IEC 61215 ED. 2.0 B:2005 Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design
qualification and type approval Lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of
terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in generalopen-air climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. Determines the electrical andthermal characteristics of the module and shows, as far as possible, that themodule is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in certain climates.

Basic Standards for Terrestrial PV ModulesPerformance and Design Qualification
IEC 61646 ED. 2.0 B:2008 Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and
type approval IEC 61646:2008 lays down requirements for the design qualification and type
approval of terrestrial, thin-film photovoltaic modules suitable for long-termoperation in general open-air climates as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. This
standard applies to all terrestrial flat plate module materials not covered by IEC61215.

Basic Standards for Terrestrial PV ModulesPerformance and Design Qualification
IEC 62108 ED. 1.0 B:2007 Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies - Design
qualification and type approval "Specifies the minimum requirements for the design qualification and type
approval of concentrator photovoltaic modules and assemblies suitable forlong-term operation in general open-air climates. The test sequence is partiallybased on that specified in IEC 61215. Determines the electrical, mechanical,
and thermal characteristics of the CPV modules and assemblies and shows thatthe CPV modules and assemblies are capable of withstanding prolonged
exposure in climates described in the scope."

Basic Standards for Terrestrial PV ModulesSafety Qualification
UL1703 Ed. 3: 2002-03Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels Ed.1: 1986-08
Describes the requirements that cover flat-plate photovoltaic modules and panelsintended for installation on or integral with buildings, or to be freestanding (thatis, not attached to buildings), in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
NFPA 70, and Model Building Codes. These requirements cover modules andpanels intended for use in systems with a maximum system voltage of 1000 V
or less.These requirements also cover components intended to provide electricalconnection to and mounting facilities for flat-plate photovoltaic modules and
panels.

Solar ABCs - Philosophy Developing new codes, standards, and policy is most effective
when all stakeholder groups are represented in the process
Stakeholders from cities and municipalities are now under-represented
Currently soliciting nominations for Advisory Committee
Would like to add a Committee member from local governmentand/or a Solar America City who understand uniquerequirements of codes and standards in their jurisdiction
