1 Scope and object
This International Standard defines the minimal information and documentation required
to be handed over to a customer following the installation of a grid connected PV
system. This standard also describes the minimum commissioning tests, inspection criteria and documentation expected to verify the safe installation and correct operation
of the system. The document can also be used for periodic retesting.
This standard is written for grid connected PV systems only and not for AC module
systems or systems that utilize energy storage (e.g. batteries) or hybrid systems.
NOTE It is expected that additional information and commissioning tests will be required
in some circumstances, e.g. for large commercial installations.
This standard is for use by system designers and installers of grid connected solar
PV systems as a template to provide effective documentation to a customer. By detailing
the expected minimum commissioning tests and inspection criteria, it is also intended to assist in the verification / inspection of a grid connected PV system after installation and for subsequent re-inspection, maintenance or modifications.
