UNE-EN 50380:2018

This draft European Standard describes marking, including nameplate and documentation requirements for non-concentrating photovoltaic modules.

This document provides information that need to be included in the product documentation to ensure safe and proper use of the product. Therefore this document states mandatory information and requirements. A best practices guide is included in this document giving guidance on additional information, for example module s performance at different irradiance levels.

In this context, markings, including nameplate, are permanently affixed information on an electric device, herein the PV module, which indelibly states the rating and other information as required by the relevant standard for safe use and maintenance. While, documentation information is a technical description separate from the photovoltaic module.

The content of this standard is based on various IEC and EN standards defining parts of marking, nameplate and documentation requirements for PV modules.
