This International Standard describes data sheet and name plate information for photovoltaic inverters in grid parallel operation. The object of this standard is to provide minimum information required to configure a safe and optimal system with photovoltaic inverters. In this context, data sheet information is a technical description separate from the photovoltaic inverter. The name plate is a sign of durable construction on or in the photovoltaic inverter. The name plate may be inside the photovoltaic inverter only if the name plate is visible once a door is opened in normal use.
