Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic Modules, commonly referred to as Si wafer-based photovoltaic modules, are a cornerstone of solar energy technology. These modules harness the power of sunlight through the use of crystalline silicon wafers to convert solar energy into electricity. They are the most widely used solar panel technology for terrestrial applications, and their popularity can be attributed to their efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Crystalline silicon solar modules come in two main variations: Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline.
These solar modules are used in a variety of applications, from residential rooftop installations to large-scale solar farms, contributing to the global shift towards renewable energy sources. Their durability, long lifespan, and proven performance have made crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules a driving force in the transition to sustainable and clean energy production on a massive scale.
IS 14286:2010, IEC 61215:2005, IS/IEC 61730 (Part 1):2004, and IS/IEC 61730 (Part 2):2004 are important standards for manufacturers of crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules (Si wafer-based). These standards define the requirements for the design, construction, and testing of photovoltaic modules. Meeting these standards helps manufacturers produce dependable products. Compliance with these standards is a prerequisite for certification and regulatory approval, allowing manufacturers to sell their products in various markets.
Note: Manufacturers of crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules (Si wafer-based) are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
BIS/CRS Registration is compulsory for crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules (Si wafer-based). This registration scheme was established to ensure that photovoltaic modules used for harnessing solar energy in terrestrial applications meet stringent quality and safety standards. It is vital to enhance consumer protection, promote the availability of reliable solar energy products in the Indian market, and address concerns related to electrical safety, performance, and reliability.
Bureau of Indian Standards is a statutory body in India responsible for the formulation and implementation of standards to ensure the quality and safety of various products. Under the BIS framework, there exists a scheme called CRS (Compulsory Registration Scheme), which mandates that certain categories of products must undergo mandatory registration and comply with specified quality and safety standards before they can be sold in the Indian market. This scheme was established in 2012 and has since played a crucial role in enhancing product quality and safety in India by ensuring that items such as electronics, appliances and automotive components meet the necessary standards before they reach consumers. BIS/CRS Registration is vital for market access, as it is a legal requirement for selling the product in India. Failure to obtain this registration can result in confiscation of goods and legal consequences. Therefore, manufacturers and importers need to be diligent in ensuring their products meet the necessary criteria.
