BIS Standards on Solar Modules in India
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has implemented a Quality Control Order on SPV Systems, Devices and Components Goods Order 2017 under BIS Act(Compulsory Registration Scheme). The said order includes SPV Modules, Inverter and Battery Storage with specified Indian Standards adopted from IEC Standards for these products.
The Experts Committee made recommendation to make two separate Indian Standards for Crystalline and Thin Film based Modules by combining related standards, including the standard on PID Test for crystalline modules, and implementation of revised standard on inverter as follows-
| Sl No | Product | Standards | Remarks | ||||||
| 1 | Solar PV Modules (Crystalline) | IS 14286-1:2019/IEC 61215-1: 2016 | * Since IS IEC 61730-2 refers Fire test MST 23 as National/Local code we need to mandate this test in IS IEC 61730-2Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β * As per IS 17210 test duration for PID is 96Hrs (Chamber method) and 168Hrs (Ambient method). However, requirement from MNRE is 288Hrs, which may be incorporated. | ||||||
