What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs.

19. A PV cell is a light illuminated pn- junction diode which directly converts solar energy into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. A typical silicon PV cell is composed of a thin wafer consisting of an ultra-thin layer of phosphorus-doped (n-type) silicon on top of a thicker layer of boron- doped (p-type) silicon. When sunlight strikes the surface of a PV cell, photons

There are numerous national and international bodies that set standards for photovoltaics. There are standards for nearly every stage of the PV life cycle, including materials and processes used in the production of PV panels, testing methodologies, performance standards, and design and installation guidelines.
There are 169 published IEC standards by TC-82 related to photovoltaic technology, with 69 more in progress. This set of standards is the most broadly used by the scientific community and technicians in research centers and companies.
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.
At least three regulatory levels for the production and installation of photovoltaic systems can be considered. Additionally, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology is also regulated by standards. In this chapter, the three levels are presented.
This recommended practice is applicable to all stand-alone PV systems where PV is the only charging source. This recommended practice does not include PV hybrid systems nor grid-connected systems. This recommended practice covers lead-acid batteries only; nickel-cadmium and other battery types are not included.
To regulate PV system design and battery function, the following standards are recommended: IEC 62124 for stand-alone PV system design and PV performance evaluation, including battery testing and recovery after periods of low state-of-charge in various climatic conditions, and IEC 62509 for battery charge controllers.
