FOREWORD

With the launch of the Feed in Tariff (FiT) mechanism on 1^stDecember 2011, the solar PV Industry in Malaysia has grown in leaps and bounds and is poised to continue this dynamic growth for years to come. With the proliferation of solar PV installations, it has become imperative for SEDA Malaysia to ensure these installations meet the international standards in terms of quality, reliability and safety. SEDA Malaysia is much aware the responsibility of monitoring the construction of all solar PV installations is a huge task which must be undertaken. It is with this key objective in mind the Procedure for the Testing and Commissioning of Grid Connected PV Installations has been prepared with the help of our technology partners.

The proposed Procedure has been deliberated exhaustively in a Workshop with participants from Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Malaysia PV Industry Associations (MPIA), and PV service providers/ integrators. Feedback during the Workshop and written inputs from the participants has been incorporated in the final version.

The document which is aptly named Procedure for the Testing and Commissioning of Grid Connected PV Installations place the key responsibility to carry out the various testing and commissioning (T&C) procedures on the qualified personnel certified by SEDA Malaysia. SEDA Malaysia as the authorized agency to implement the feed in tariff mechanism under the RE Act 2011 will assign officials be present to witness the T&C of installations more than 12 kW. It is therefore critical the qualified persons are competent, and carry out their duties with the highest sense of integrity.

Lastly, I would like to thank Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) for assisting SEDA Malaysia develop this Procedure and everyone who has contributed to the drafting of the Procedure for the Testing and Commissioning of Grid Connected PV Installations, including ST, TNB and MPIA.

^{_{INTERNATIONAL CODES & STANDARDS CHECKLIST}}

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) prepares and publishes international standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies. The IEC standards also include PV systems for energy production and distribution. The work is accomplished under the IEC’s Technical Committee 82 (IEC TC82).

In this TG, the main focus is given to IEC Standards. Wherever the topics are not covered by IEC Standards, EN (European Standards), IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, USA) & NEC (National Electric Code, USA) Standards are cross-referred and/or recommended.

This TG covers the standards related to the solar PV technology. For general engineering related topics, where components are used for conventional power generating systems, the relevant International or Malaysian standards should be followed since they are not covered in this document.

The following documents are of particular relevance for the design and construction of a PV system, where referenced throughout the guide the most recent edition should be referred to.

7	IEC 62716^{^[2]}	Photovoltaic (PV) modules – Ammonia corrosiontesting

The following tables describe the interpretation of each standard and the relevance for the installations.

	Table 2: Summary & relevance of IEC 61215
Standard	IEC 61215
Title	Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval
Summary	It lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates, as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. Determines the electrical and thermal characteristics of the module and shows, as far as possible, that the module is capable of withstanding prolonged exposure in certain climates.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard if the technology of the PV modules used in the plant is crystalline.

	Table 3: Summary & relevance of IEC 61646
Standard	IEC 61646
Title	Thin-film terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualification and type approval
Summary	It lays down requirements for the design qualification and type approval of terrestrial, thin-film photovoltaic modules suitable for long-term operation in general open-air climates as defined in IEC 60721-2-1. This standard applies to all terrestrial flat plate module materials not covered by IEC 61215.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard if the technology of the PV modules used in the plant is Thin Film.

	Table 4: Summary & relevance of IEC 61730 – Part 1
Standard	IEC 61730 – Part 1
Title	Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 1: Requirements for construction
Summary	It describes the fundamental construction requirements for photovoltaic modules in order to provide safe electrical and mechanical operation during their expected lifetime. Addresses the prevention of electrical shock, fire hazards, and personal injury due to mechanical and environmental stresses. Pertains to the particular requirements of construction and is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61215 or IEC 61646.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard

	Table 5: Summary & relevance of IEC 61730 – Part 2
Standard	IEC 61730 – Part 2
Title	Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification - Part 2: Requirements for testing
Summary	The objective of the Part 2 of this standard is to provide the testing sequence intended to verify the safety of PV modules whose construction has been assessed by IEC 617301. The test sequence and pass criteria are designed to detect the potential breakdown of internal and external components of PV modules that would result in fire, electric shock and personal injury. The standard defines the basic safety test requirements and additional tests that are a function of the module end-use applications. Test categories include general inspection, electrical shock hazard, fire hazard, mechanical stress, and environmental stress.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard

	Table 6: Summary & relevance of IEC 61701
Standard	IEC 61701
Title	Salt mist corrosion testing of photovoltaic (PV) modules
Summary	It describes test sequences useful to determine the resistance of different PV modules to corrosion from salt mist containing Cl- (NaCl, MgCl2, etc.). This Standard can be
	applied to both flat plate PV modules and concentrator PV modules and assemblies. Salt mist test is based on IEC 60068-2-52 rather than IEC 60068-2-11 as in edition 1 since the former standard is much more widely used in the electronic component field. According to this change the new edition 2 includes a cycling testing sequence that combines in each cycle a salt fog exposure followed by humidity storage under controlled temperature and relative humidity conditions. This testing sequence is more suitable to reflect the corrosion processes that happen in PV modules subjected to permanent or temporary corrosive atmospheres.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard, when the installation location is in a marine environment, or in close proximity to the sea, where there could be a change between salt-laden and dry atmospheres, for examples in places where salt is used to melt ice formations.

	Table 7: Summary & relevance of IEC 62716
Standard	IEC 62716
Title	Photovoltaic (PV) modules – Ammonia corrosiontesting
Summary	This standard describes test sequences useful to determine the resistance of PV modules to ammonia (NH₃). Photovoltaic (PV) modules are electrical devices intended for continuous outdoor exposure during their lifetime. Highly corrosive wet atmospheres, such as in the environment of stables of agricultural companies, could eventually degrade some of the PV module components (corrosion of metallic parts, deterioration of the properties of some non-metallic materials such as protective coatings and plastics – by assimilation of ammonia) causing permanent damages that could impair their functioning and safe operation.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard, when PV modules operating under wet atmospheres having high concentration of dissolved ammonia (NH3). For example when there is a chance of developing aggressive ammonium hydroxide due to livestock barns (Poultry etc.)

	Table 8: Summary & relevance of IEC 62804
Standard	IEC 62804
Title	System voltage durability test for crystalline silicon modules – design qualification and type approval
Summary	Potential-induced degradation (PID) can cause high yield loss in PV systems. This draft discusses a test method involving a climatic chamber test at 60°C and 85% relative humidity. The aim of this work is to compare the different test methods and to arrive at a standard test procedure for numerous module types. Electroluminescence imaging at different module currents and low irradiance measurements provide early detection and characterization of PID effects on degraded modules from the field and in the lab.
Relevance	Mandatory to produce certificate conforming this standard for all framed PV modules, when the standard will come into force and available for sale.
