The Solar PV Standard

The Solar PV Standard

Basic Understanding of IEC Standard Testing for Photovoltaic Solar Panels

The IEC is a nonprofit that establishes international assessment standards for a bunch of electronic devices, including photovoltaic (PV) panels. Importantly, the IEC does not test or certify panels themselves – they establish the standards for other testing facilities to adhere to when evaluating solar panel quality.
