Overview
This overview is on standards for documentation for solar home systems
System Documentation
The system documentation shall include, in addition to the data sheets of all main components, a user’s manual and a technician’s manual with the following contents:
User Manual
The User’s Manual should include:
- warranty conditions for all major components
- battery safety requirements
- battery maintenance requirements
- battery replacement requirements
- description of all user-interactive hardware
- requirements for proper system operation, including load limitations, critical loads, load conservation, weather dependence, shading problems, etc.
- system maintenance
- emergency shut-down procedures
- simplified operating instructions for the charge regulator
- functional block diagram
Technical Manual
The Technician’s Manual should include:
- a copy of the user manual
- a list of all system components, data sheets, warranty conditions, etc.
- installation instructions
- acceptance test procedures verifying all electrical set points for PV generator, charge regulator, load operation, battery capacity, voltage drops, etc.
- the recommended maintenance schedule and maintenance instructions
- trouble-shooting guide, including all repairs and diagnostic procedures that can be performed by the supplier
- functional block diagram
- emergency shut-down procedures
