This European Standard describes data sheet and name plate information for photovoltaic inverters in grid parallel operation.

The intent of this document is to provide minimum information required to configure a safe and optimal system with photovoltaic inverters.

In this context, data sheet information is a technical description separate from the photovoltaic inverter. The name plate is a sign of durable construction at or in the photovoltaic inverter. The name plate may be inside the photovoltaic inverter only if the name plate is visible once a door is opened in normal use.
