What is BS EN IEC 61853 ‑ 4‒ Photovoltaic module energy ratings about?
BS EN IEC 61853 ‑ 4 is the fourth part of an international multi-series standard that covers general specifications for efficient performance of photovoltaic module.
BS EN IEC 61853 ‑ 4 describes requirements for evaluating PV module performance in terms of power (watts) rating. It describes the standard reference climatic profiles used for calculating energy ratings.
BS EN IEC 61853 ‑ 4 specifies terms, definitions, standard reference climatic profiles for energy rating, data format, and reference climatic profiles for testing the performance and energy ratings of the photovoltaic modules.
Note 1: BS EN IEC 61853 ‑ 4 is applicable to all PV technologies including non-linear devices.
