IEC 61853-2:2026 establishes IEC requirements for evaluating PV module performance based on power (watts), energy (joule or watthours) and performance ratio. It is written to be applicable to all PV technologies, including bifacial PV modules, but can be unsuitable for any technology where the module performance changes with time (e.g. modules change their behaviour with light or thermal exposure), or which experience significant non-linearities in any of their characteristics used for the modelling.
The purpose of document is to define procedures for measuring the effects of angle of incidence of the irradiance on the output power of the device, to determine the operating temperature of a module for a specific set of ambient and mounting conditions and measure the spectral responsivity of the module.
