Photovoltaic (PV) module performance testing and energy rating - Part 4: Standard reference climatic profiles

This part of IEC 61853 describes the standard reference climatic profiles used for calculating
energy ratings.
IEC 61853-1 describes requirements for evaluating PV module performance in terms of power
(watts) rating. IEC 61853-2 describes test procedures for determining module temperature
from irradiance, ambient temperature and wind speed, a method for measuring angle of
incidence effects, and spectral responsivity. IEC 61853-3 describes the calculation of PV
module energy rating values, using the data from IEC 61853-1, IEC 61853-2 and
IEC 61853-4.

Part 4: Standard reference climatic profiles

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates
closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined
by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national a
