Solar container product implementation standards

What are solar & storage standards?

These standards assure that solar and storage systems have been ethically, sustainably, and responsibly sourced, manufactured, transported, installed, operated, and recycled. How to Participate The following opportunities for participation are available:

Should solar PV supply chain services be included in the IRENA report?

This IRENA report takes stock of the key quality infrastructure (technical) and ESG services that should be considered by solar PV stakeholders to bolster supply chain activities, as well as make them more inclusive. Download Annex data here.

Why is supply chain development important for solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity growth?

Supply chain development is crucial for solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity growth; however, most of its crucial value chain segments are concentrated in specific geographies such as China, Europe and the United States. Hence, from a sustainability perspective, it is critical that these supply chains become more diversified and resilient.

What is the European standard for non-concentrating photovoltaic modules?

This European Standard describes marking, including nameplate and documentation requirements for non-concentrating photovoltaic modules. This European Standard provides mandatory information that needs to be included in the product documentation or affixed to the product to ensure safe and proper use.

What file format do I need for a solar PV plant?

Annex F and Annex C “Documentation set accompanying the solar PV plant” of the O&M Best Practice Guidelines. It is important to underline the file format that must be used. All the technical drawings should be received both as a PDF with stamp and signature and as an editable format (.dwg).

How can countries improve their solar PV supply chain resiliency?

One way in which countries can enhance their solar PV supply chain resiliency, and facilitate greater market access, is through participation and conformance to the international quality infrastructure ecosystem for this technology.
