IEC 62938 Ed. 1.0 b:2020 Photovoltaic (PV) modules - Non-uniform snow load testing
standard by International Electrotechnical Commission, 05/14/2020
Full Description
IEC 62938 provides a method for determining how well a framed PV module performs mechanically under the influence of inclined non-uniform snow loads. This document is applicable for framed modules with frames protruding beyond the front glass surface on the lower edge after intended installation and as such creates an additional barrier to snow sliding down from modules. For modules with other frame constructions, such as backrails formed in frames, on the side edges, on the top edge and on the lower edge not creating an additional snow slide barrier, this document is not applicable.
