BS EN 61733-1:1996 is a British Standard that specifies the general requirements and test methods for the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules in a stand-alone mode. This standard was developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and is titled "Photovoltaic (PV) Stand Alone Systems: Design Verification."
The standard covers a range of aspects related to the design and performance verification of stand-alone PV systems. It includes requirements and tests for various parameters such as electrical performance, mechanical construction, environmental factors, and reliability.
Some specific areas covered by BS EN 61733-1:1996 include:
Electrical Performance: This standard outlines the tests and criteria for evaluating the electrical characteristics of PV modules, such as maximum power output, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and temperature coefficients.
Mechanical Construction: It specifies requirements for the mechanical strength, durability, and protection of PV modules. This includes considerations for the module's resistance to mechanical stress, impact, and exposure to environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
Environmental Factors: The standard addresses the impact of various environmental conditions on the performance and reliability of PV modules. It includes tests for resistance to thermal cycling, humidity, damp heat, and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Reliability: BS EN 61733-1:1996 also provides guidelines for assessing the long-term reliability and durability of PV modules. This includes tests to evaluate the module's resistance to aging, degradation, and electrical insulation.
It's important to note that this standard is from 1996, and there may have been revisions or updates to the standard since then. It's always recommended to refer to the latest version or any national or regional adaptations of the standard for accurate and up-to-date information.
