TC 82 - Solar photovoltaic energy systems
To prepare international standards for systems of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy into electrical energy and for all the elements in the entire photovoltaic energy system. In this context, the concept "photovoltaic energy system" includes the entire field from light input to a photovoltaic cell to and including the interface with the electrical system(s) to which energy is supplied. NOTE: It is recognized that there is some common interest between TC 47 and TC 82, therefore these two Committees shall maintain liaison.
Systèmes de conversion photovoltaïque de l'énergie solaire
Etablir des normes internationales pour les systèmes de conversion photovoltaïque de l'énergie solaire en énergie électrique et pour tous les éléments qui composent le système complet de conversion photovoltaïque de l'énergie. Dans ce contexte, la notion de "système à énergie photovoltaïque" comprend dans son entier le domaine qui va de l'entrée de la lumière dans la cellule photovoltaïque à l'interface (compris) avec le ou les circuits électriques auxquels l'énergie est fournie. NOTE: Etant reconnu qu'il existe certains domaines d'intérêt communs au CE 82 et au CE 47, ces Comités devront en conséquence entretenir des liaisons.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
