4 FAQs about International standards for grid-connected inverters for solar container communication stations

What are the grid connection regulations for photovoltaic inverters?

In Germany, key grid connection regulations include VDE AR N 4105, VDE 0124-100, VDE AR N 4110, FGW TR3, and VDE 0126-1-1, while Austria follows OVE R 25. IEC 62116 is an international standard for grid-connected photovoltaic inverters, specifying test procedures to prevent unintentional islanding.

What is the European standard for photovoltaic inverters?

This European Standard describes datasheet and nameplate information for photovoltaic inverters in grid parallel operation. The intent of this document is to provide the minimum information required to configure a safe and optimal system with photovoltaic inverters.

Are EPC power inverters UL certified?

Because EPC Power sells PV inverters internationally, its products must be certified to North American standards (UL 1741, IEEE 1547, and CSA 22.2) as well as Australian and European safety standards and grid codes, including IEC 62109 and VDE) and quality standards, including ISO 9001:2015.

What certifications apply to solar inverters?

There are several certifications that apply to solar inverters, including EN 50524, EN 50530, UL 1741, IEC 61683, IEC 62109-1, and IEC 62109-2. Before going into more detail, let’s briefly discuss the main certification bodies that design and safeguard these certification standards for solar inverters.
