Smart PV module is a solar module that has a power optimiser or micro-inverter embedded into the solar panel at the time of manufacturing with a view to providing easy installation, increasing power harvesting especially in the location with partial shading and providing module level monitoring. However, the capital cost will be higher than the traditional PV module.
There are numerous national and international bodies that set standards for photovoltaics. There are standards for nearly every stage of the PV life cycle, including materials and processes used in the production of PV panels, testing methodologies, performance standards, and design and installation guidelines.
ABSTRACT: International standards play an important role in the Photovoltaic industry. Since PV is such a global industry it is critical that PV products be measured and qualified the same way everywhere in the world. IEC TC82 has developed and published a number of module and component measurement and qualification standards.
Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.
There are 169 published IEC standards by TC-82 related to photovoltaic technology, with 69 more in progress. This set of standards is the most broadly used by the scientific community and technicians in research centers and companies.

Guidelines for Grid Connected System SizingSolar PV system sizing will be limited by two factors, the amount of physical space available for the installation and the electricity consumption profile of the building (load profile).Current regulations do not provide favourable incentives for systems to fe
Deploying a PV system involves several requirements and standards. Licensing standards are important aspects, including the level of training required, the allowable ratio of licensed electrician to apprentice, and the definition of a qualified person.
