IEC 63092‑1
specifies BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaic) module requirements while this document specifies BIPV system requirements. Both parts specify building requirements and the applicable electrotechnical
requirements (both in general and specific with respect to module assembly and application
category).
This document applies to photovoltaic systems that are integrated into buildings with
the photovoltaic modules used as building products. It focuses on the properties of
these photovoltaic systems relevant to basic building requirements and the applicable
electrotechnical requirements. This document references international standards, technical
reports and guidelines. For some applications, national standards (or regulations)
for building products may also apply in individual countries, which are not explicitly
referenced here and for which harmonized International Standards are not yet available.
This document is addressed to manufacturers, planners, system designers, installers,
testing institutes and building authorities.
This document does not apply to concentrating photovoltaic systems or photovoltaic
systems using concentrating photovoltaic modules.
This document addresses requirements on the BIPV systems in the specific ways they are intended to be mounted and the mounting structure,
but not the BIPV module itself, which is within the scope of IEC 63092‑1.
