Hay millones de sistemas autónomos instalados en todo el mundo y las instalaciones inadecuadas pueden tener un impacto real en la seguridad y la calidad de vida de sus usuarios. Todos los países tienen algún tipo de código eléctrico que establece estándares básicos sobre cómo deben diseñarse los sistemas eléctricos, qué componentes deben usarse y cómo deben instalarse. El código eléctrico de cada país se basa en los estándares de la Comisión Electrotécnica Internacional (IEC), el Código Eléctrico Nacional (NEC) de los Estados Unidos o en una combinación de ambos.[1] Se debe seguir los códigos cúanto mas se pueda, ya que su propósito principal es prevenir incendios y proteger a las personas. Los accidentes eléctricos (incendios y electrocuciones) suelen ocurrir porque el equipo no está instalado correctamente, no está clasificado para ser utilizado para un propósito en particular, está sujeto a corrientes o voltajes que exceden su clasificación o está instalado en un ambiente inapropiado.
The electrical codes of many countries also include a section that deals with photovoltaics and solar installations, but in many locations the code does inadequately addresses small-scale battery based systems, is completely unintelligible to the majority of the people designing/installing these systems or simply does not address them at all. In many places this is combined with a lack of a permitting process and a lack of enforcement to create an environment in which many PV systems are designed and installed improperly due to ignorance or in a race to the bottom on cost. If in a location where there is insufficient guidance from the electrical code, the United States NEC combined with the best practices that have been developed in the off-grid sector in the US serve as a solid approach in most locations. OSSP follows this approach.
More information on choosing properly tested and certified components for a PV system can be found at equipment certifications.
