Solar array mounted on a rooftop. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.
Having a common terminology, common methods, and/or awareness of national and international best practices can lead to accurately quantifying the available solar resource and

This whitepaper is titled ‘Solar Energy International Standards’. Below we are summarizing the principle ISO and IEC standards. This standard relates to performance monitoring and analysis of solar energy plants, from irradiance input to AC power output. It defines terminology and classifies instruments and methods.
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.
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.
CEN and CENELEC (+ ETSI for the Information and Communications Technologies) have the European Union's mandate in relation to the “Completion of the Internal Market”. The specific mandate for standardisation in the field of solar photovoltaic energy systems and components is M/089 EN (which however does not cover the Ecodesign topic).
Below are some of the most common solar panel testing standards and certifications to look for when comparing solar panels: The IEC is a nonprofit that establishes international assessment standards for a bunch of electronic devices, including photovoltaic (PV) panels.
