Which standard covers design qualification and type approval (reliability testing) of terrestrial PV modules?
Answer: IEC 61215
IEC 61215 covers performance and durability testing, while IEC/UL 61730 covers module safety.
A datasheet lists a mechanical load rating of '5400 Pa front / 2400 Pa rear'. The front rating mainly addresses:
Answer: Snow loading
Front-side (downward) load represents snow, and rear-side load represents wind uplift.
A battery has a nominal capacity of 10 kWh and a rated depth of discharge of 90%. What is its usable capacity?
Answer: 9.0 kWh
Usable capacity = 10 kWh × 0.90 = 9.0 kWh.
What does round-trip efficiency on a battery storage datasheet represent?
Answer: Energy delivered on discharge divided by energy supplied on charge
Round-trip efficiency is the share of charging energy recovered on discharge, typically 85-95% for lithium-ion systems.
Which standard is the safety listing for complete energy storage systems, with a related test method for thermal runaway fire propagation?
Answer: UL 9540 / UL 9540A
UL 9540 lists ESS equipment, and UL 9540A is the test method for thermal runaway fire propagation.
A warranty guarantees 98% of power in year 1, then a 0.55%/year decline. What minimum power is guaranteed at the end of year 25?
Answer: 84.8%
98% - (24 × 0.55%) = 98% - 13.2% = 84.8%.
In the IP68 rating of a junction box, what does the first digit '6' indicate?
Answer: Completely dust-tight
The first IP digit covers solids, and 6 means fully dust-tight; the second digit, 8, covers continuous water immersion.
