KS 2542:2014 Off-grid Solar Photovoltaic Lighting Kits — Requirements (12 pages, in English)

This draft standard applies to off-grid lighting appliances or kits that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician. The kits are generally comprised of a light source (LED, CFL, or other), a rechargeable energy storage device (usually a battery), an energy generation device or source (PV module, dynamo, AC grid, unregulated DC input, or other), and internal electronics. Lighting appliances or kits with PV modules larger than 15 W (peak power under standard test conditions) are excluded from the scope of this standard.Comment to Stakeholders: The test methods in KS IEC/TS 62257-9-5 are designed for pico systems with small PV modules and batteries. For the test methods no to be too costly, the methods exclude some procedures associated with module and battery evaluation which would be appropriate to include in larger systems. The test methods are not therefore recommended for use with solar modules with peak output larger than 15 W (peak). The process for developing test methods for use with larger systems (up to 100 peak Watts) is on-going at international level.
