Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.
1. Mandatory Standards: Solar PV modules, inverters, and storage batteries must conform to the latest Indian Standards (as notified by BIS) and bear the Standard Mark under a license from the BIS. 18% for Mono Crystalline Silicon and Thin-Film PV Modules. 17% for Poly Crystalline Silicon PV Modules. 2. Applicability:
1 kWh of AC power output from a reference photovoltaic system (excluding the efficiency of the inverter) under predefined climatic and installation conditions for 1 year and assuming a service life of 10 years. a service life of 25 years.
All solar goods, including crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic modules, thin-film modules, storage batteries, power inverters, and utility-interconnected inverters, must comply with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) regulations and bear its ‘standard mark’ under license.
Revisions include raising the minimum proportion of investment that must be funded by shareholders' own capital to 30 percent. Previously, the 2021 regulations for the photovoltaic manufacturing industry set a minimum ratio of 30 percent for new and expanded polysilicon projects, and 20 percent for other new and expanded photovoltaic projects.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide.
