Product Code: IS 16221 (Part 2): 2015 / IEC 62109-2: 2011

BIS Registration is mandatory for Power Investers

Power Inventor is a type of solar inverter that takes the direct current, or DC, from photovoltaic solar panels and delivers AC for both household and grid-tied purposes. The general constituents of solar energy systems usually are PV panels, the inverter itself, and the rack. Not only does an inverter convert electricity, but it also optimizes the output of energy due to characteristics such as maximum power point tracking. Since June 30, 2020, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS Registration) has required all manufacturers to register their power inverters under IS 16221 (Part 2): 2015 / IEC 62109-2: 2011 for compliance and safety standards in the market.

Usage of Power Inverters

Power inversion: These inverters can transform the DC from various sources like batteries or panels made from solar power directly to alternating current, to supply it to most house appliances.
Backup Power Supply: They provide a reliable backup during power outages, ensuring that essential devices remain operational.
Integration with Renewable Energy: The inverter enables the integration of renewable sources, like sunlight and wind, into the power grid and encourages the use of renewable energy.
Noise Reduction: Unlike generators, inverters are quiet, so noise pollution in residential areas is reduced.
Voltage Regulation: They help stabilize voltage levels, protecting connected devices from damage due to fluctuations.

Benefits of BIS Registration for Power Inverters

Consumer Confidence: Certification will assure consumers that products have been tested comprehensively and are thereby in conformity with national standards.
Market Access: BIS certification would enhance marketability and unlock new business opportunities since most regions ask for compliance with safety standards before importing products.
Manufacturing processes: This is also improved on a quality basis by manufacturers as a result of BIS certification.
Regulatory Compliance: The inverters sold in India are registered, and this is to ensure that every product in the market follows guidelines for performance and safety that are set.

In summary, BIS registration for power inverters under IS 16221 (Part 2): 2015 / IEC 62109-2: 2011 is now mandatory since June 30, 2020. This certification ensures safety and quality standards, hence, consumer confidence and market access for manufacturers. This is important for the effective integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid.
