OSTI ID:6853231
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., under contract to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has conducted a study of present photovoltaic module array designs and configurations likely to be used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. That investigation of engineering safety requirements has resulted in the development of this Interim Standard for Safety. This document, primarily written by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), is published in two volumes. Volume I, Construction Requirements, contains safety requirements for flat-plate photovoltaic modules and panels. Volume II, Performance Requirements, contains test procedures and methods to verify compliance with the safety requirements set forth in Volume I. The purpose of these documents is to offer to the flat-plate photovoltaic's community, for trial use, this Interim Standard for Safety as part of JPL's Low-Cost Solar Array (LSA) Project. This volume is intended to be used on a trial basis with the latest Block V Module Procuremenet Specifications for Intermediate Load and Residential Applications, 5101-161 and 5101-162, respectively. This use will support such things as future module procurements and module development activities sponsored by the US Department of Energy.
