Should solar photovoltaic systems have an energy label?

introduction of an energy label suggests a label for the entire solar photovoltaic system deployed on residential rooftops. Here, a small number of system performance factors such as the energ

Should a residential scale photovoltaic system have an energy label?

The introduction of an Energy Label for residential scale photovoltaic systems will be a novelty for electricity generating equipment and runs a risk of confusing and disincentivising the electricity prosumer.

How is the Energy Label scheme based on a PV module?

Because the PV module and PV system's energy yield, modeled by the methods and methodology described in Section 2.2, are calculated taking into account these aspects, the energy label scheme could be based on this variable, normalized to the module area in the case of the PV module and to the PV array area in the case of the PV system.

Should photovoltaic modules and inverters be eco-design requirements?

s the policy recommendation on the introduction of eco-design requirements for photovoltaic modules and inverters in the EU. These future requirements should be based on standards, which determine the service life, energy y

Can a residential scale photovoltaic system be calculated?

To inform the future discussions on the development of a calculation methodology for residential scale photovoltaic systems, the Joint Mission Group has performed a number of benchmark calculations for reference systems, using the specified PV System Calculator as well as commercial energy yield prediction and assessment tools.

Do ecodesign rules apply to solar photovoltaic products?

Ecodesign rules apply to more than 30 product groups, with Energy Labelling applying to many of those. Until now, solar photovoltaic products had no product category of their own – but that’s all about to change.
