description 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. Monocrystalline panels: They are made from single-crystal wafers, offering high efficiency and a sleek, black appearance. Polycrystalline panels: They use multiple silicon fragments, making them slightly less efficient but more budget-friendly. 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.
