Learn MoreElectrical inspection and testing of solar PV installations is a fundamental requirement to ensure system safety and performance, says Darren Bakewell, applications engineer at Seaward Solar.
It also describes the commissioning tests, inspection criteria and documentation expected to verify the safe installation and correct operation of the system. It is for use by system designers and installers of grid connected solar PV systems as a template to provide effective documentation to a customer.
Sampling for testing of PV modules comprises the procedures involved to select a part of PV modules from the entire solar PV plant for inspection and it should adhere to standard sampling methods IS2500/ISO-2859 and field-testing norms as per IEC 61215/61646 standards.
In this respect, there are some key solar PV system features that rely on adequate and appropriate electrical testing and inspection being undertaken on a regular basis. IEC 62446 recommends that periodic verification of an existing installation shall be performed.
The growth of photovoltaic power plants in both size and number has spurred the development of new approaches in inspection techniques. The most commonly employed methods include visual inspections, current-voltage measurements, infrared thermography, and luminescence imaging.
The periodic testing of the electrical cabling and components associated with solar PV systems will ensure the safe operation of the system and reduce the potential fire risk associated with any electrical faults. All solar PV installations require the provision of various documentation and forms to the customer.
