Resolution Rx.M14 – Solar Keymark Scheme Rules for PVT hybrid collectors
Due to the fact, that there is no standard fully covering photovoltaic and thermal PVT Hybrid
collectors or a scope including PVT’s (neither within current EN 12975-1 or -2 nor within IEC
61215; 61646; 62108; 61730), there’s a need for additional requirements within Solar KEYMARK
Scheme Rules.
Solar Keymark Certification of PVT-hybrid collectors will be accepted, if the following additional
requirements will be fulfilled:
(Starting from here, the text should be implemented in the Scheme Rules)
13.7 Solar Keymark Certification of PVT collectors
Solar Keymark certification of PVT collectors is possible.
SKN resolution Rx.M14
PVT-solar collectors have to comply with the enclosed listed standards.
It is under the responsibility of the certification bodies, to ensure the compliance with the relevant
standard.
Note: One possible procedure for compliance evaluation and it’s securing is described in the
document SKN_N0213R0.
Special requirement for performance determination of PVT collectors
(According to Decision D7.M10)
For Solar Keymark certification of PVT collectors, the measurements of the thermal performance
shall be performed with electrical production under MPP conditions. In addition an optional
thermal performance determination without electrical production (open circuit for PV-Module) is
possible.
For the electrical load applied for the electrical production an appropriate solution for the MPP
tracking shall be used.
