The specifications, test methods and procedures included in this document cover stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems. It covers systems containing one or more PV modules, a support structure, storage batterie(s), a charge controller and typical DC loads such as lights, radio, television and refrigerators. AC loads with dedicated inverters are considered as DC loads. The load as specified by the manufacturer is an integral part of the PV system with regards to the design verification. The focus of the test methods and procedures in this document is limited to system performance evaluation. Individual sub-systems and components may be monitored, but only to evaluate the performance of the overall system. The results of this test are applicable to the exact components that are tested. Any changes in components or components' specifications require design verification. NOTE An exception to this rule is the load. Retesting is not necessary, if the nominal power of the load and its chara
