6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Standards for the selection of photovoltaic batteries”

What is the standard for solar batteries?

Up to now, the only standard available on solar batteries is the French standard NF C58- 510 “Lead-acid secondary batteries for storing photovoltaically generated electrical energy”, which will be used temporarily by PV GAP and the IEC SHS standardisation group.

What are the requirements for a lead acid battery?

The battery must be type-tested and certified in accordance with NF C 58-510 “Lead acid secondary batteries for storing photovoltaically generated electrical energy”, and/or IEC 60896-1 or -2 “Stationary lead-acid batteries - General requirements and methods of test.

What is the weakest component in a photovoltaic power supply system?

The storage batteries are still the weakest, most vulnerable component in a photovoltaic power supply system.

What are the operating conditions for lead-acid batteries?

In order to maximise the lifetime of lead-acid batteries, the following operating conditions must be avoided: High voltage during charging (to prevent corrosion and loss of water) High battery temperature (all aging processes are accelerated)

What are the responsibilities of a photovoltaic engineer?

PV Standards. Task: To prepare a glossary of terms relevant to PV. Task: To develop international standards for non-concentrating, terrestrial photovoltaic modules - crystalline & thin-film. Task: To give general instructions for photovoltaic system design and maintenance. Task: To develop international standards for BOS components for PV systems.

Are high-quality PV batteries better than low-quality batteries?

High-quality batteries are better able to resist deeper cycling than low-quality batteries. Hence, for the same application, high-quality batteries can be smaller than low-quality batteries, in terms of nominal capacity. The highest-quality PV batteries are made with tubular plates and grids with low Sb-Se content.
