Describes the requirements for the design qualification of balance-of-system (BOS) components used in terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Establishes requirements for the design qualification of balance-of-system (BOS) components used in terrestrial photovoltaic systems. Is suitable for operation in indoor, conditioned or unconditioned; or outdoor in general open-air climates, protected or unprotected. Is written for dedicated solar components such as batteries, inverters, charge controllers, system diode packages, heat sinks, surge protectors, system junction boxes, maximum power point tracking devices and switch gear, but may be applicable to other BOS components.
