6 FAQs about [Solar cell semi-finished product standards]
Are there any standards for photovoltaic solar cells?
A large number of photovoltaic (PV) standards have been developed for modules and systems by the technical committees of various standards organizations, including ASTM (E44-09), IEEE (SCC21) and IEC (TC82). Only very few industry standards, however, have been developed for issues related to individual solar cells.
Why are there no standards available for PV cells?
The documents provided in this section were used to develop most of the proposed standard. Few standards are available because they are specific to the dimensional and other key characteristics of a PV cell.
What is a semi standard?
This standard, therefore, references a large number of SEMI standards that are related to silicon wafers used in the electronic industry rather than the solar industry. These references will need to be changed when the solar industry develops its own standards for PV cells.
What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?
Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.
Which supply-chain specification standards are required for PV module manufacture?
The report closes with recommendations for additional supply-chain specification standards related to PV module manufacture including encapsulant, backsheet, junction box, cables, glass superstrate, and framing materials.
Who approved the photovoltaic standard?
This Standard was technically approved by the Photovoltaic Global Technical Committee. This edition was approved for publication by the global Audits and Reviews Subcommittee on December 13, 2017. Available at and in March 2018.
