Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62727 - Photovoltaic solar trackers?
A solar tracker is a device that orients a payload toward the Sun. Payloads are usually solar panels, parabolic troughs, Fresnel reflectors, lenses, or the mirrors of a heliostat.
The purpose of PD IEC/TS 62727 is to define the performance characteristics of trackers and describe the methods that help users to calculate and/or measure critical parameters.
PD IEC/TS 62727 sets an approach for each vendor to design, build, and specify the functionality and accuracy with a uniform definition. This allows consistency in specifying the requirements for purchasing, comparing the products from different vendors, and verifying the quality of the products.
PD IEC/TS 62727 adds up to clarify the terminology and definitions for trackers along with providing examples of measurement techniques.
Compliance with PD IEC/TS 62727 can help you standardize specifications for solar trackers to prevent misinterpretation and miscommunication, and eliminate the ambiguity in producing photovoltaic solar trackers. It assists you to improve the performance and reliability of photovoltaic solar trackers.
