Abstract: Photovoltaic power systems are unique in their characteristics and in their mode of application to buildings. Grid connected PV is being applied in a variety of applications including large centralised stations, commercial buildings and individual houses. There is a need for specific standards to address distinctive new issues created by grid connected PV power systems. Internationally many countries are attempting to develop standards for building integration, DC side issues and grid connection issues. This paper surveys the current developmental state of the major countries’ standards in this area, comparing and contrasting, standards and guidelines under development.
