1、Designation: E3010 15 An American National StandardStandard Practice forInstallation, Commissioning, Operation, and MaintenanceProcess (ICOMP) of Photovoltaic Arrays1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3010; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforigi

2、nal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice details the minimum requirements forinstallation,

3、commissioning, operations, and maintenance pro-cesses to ensure safe and reliable power generation for theexpected life of the photovoltaic system. Specifically dealingwith commercial photovoltaic installations, this practice coversa broad spectrum of designs and applications and is focused onthe pr

The practice does address the integration of bestpractices into design an

9、 operate effectively under existinglocal environmental and climatological conditions, and site-related activities such as module washing and upkeep ofvegetation for both performance and safety reasons.4. Significance and Use4.1 With the rapid expansion of the commercial photovol-taic market and the

10、various standards and independent certifi-cation entities evolving, a consensus standard practice for theICOMP process is needed to bring consistency to the market.4.2 Investors and insurance companies need consistency ofproduct and standards to reduce costs of capital and underwrit-ing. Use of a co
