certification BIS CRS Registration
Standard IS 16221 (Part-1), IS 16221 (Part-2) : 2015
description Power converters are pivotal components within photovoltaic power systems, facilitating the conversion and management of electrical energy generated by solar panels. These devices are instrumental in transforming the direct current (DC) electricity produced by solar modules into the alternating current (AC) required for most home and grid-connected applications. Power converters come in two main types: inverters and charge controllers. Inverters: Specifically, grid-tied inverters enable the seamless integration of solar energy into the electrical grid, allowing excess power to be fed back to the utility or stored in batteries for later use. Charge Controllers: They regulate the flow of electricity to batteries in off-grid or standalone systems, ensuring safe and efficient charging while preventing overcharging and damage. Both types of power converters are integral in maximizing the efficiency and reliability of photovoltaic power systems, contributing to the transition towards clean and sustainable energy solutions. IS 16221 (Part-1), IS 16221 (Part-2) : 2015 are important standards for manufacturers of power converters intended for use in photovoltaic power systems. These standards set forth the requirements for the design, construction, and testing of power converters used in photovoltaic systems. Manufacturers who adhere to these standards can produce dependable and durable converters. Complying with these standards is a prerequisite for certification and regulatory approval, allowing manufacturers to market their converters in different regions. Note: Manufacturers of power converters intended for use in photovoltaic power systems are required to obtain the mandatory BIS/CRS Registration to launch their products in the Indian market.
