Abstract

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) established a new conformity assessment system for renewable energy (IECRE) to address the industry's need to assure investors of the value of their PV power plants. There has been significant activity in the past three years devoted to defining the requirements for several types of PV system certificates, and publication of the international standards upon which these certifications are based. Now the IECRE system faces the challenge of defining the value proposition for certification and convincing stakeholders that it should be a standard requirement in the marketplace. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the present situation and the plan for promotion of IECRE certifications to help achieve wider market penetration of PV power generation.
