      CSA Preface


      This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-C62817, Photovoltaic systems — Design qualification of solar trackers, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 62817 (first edition, 2014-08


      This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.


      Scope and object


      This International Standard is a design qualification standard applicable to solar trackers for photovoltaic systems, but may be used for trackers in other solar applications. The standard defines test procedures for both key components and for the complete tracker system. In some cases, test procedures describe methods to measure and/or calculate parameters to be reported in the defined tracker specification sheet. In other cases, the test procedure results in a pass/fail criterion.


      The objective of this design qualification standard is twofold.


      First, this standard ensures the user of the said tracker that parameters reported in the specification sheet were measured by consistent and accepted industry procedures. This provides customers with a sound basis for comparing and selecting a tracker appropriate to their specific needs. This standard provides industry-wide definitions and parameters for solar trackers. Each vendor can design, build, and specify the functionality and accuracy with uniform definition. This allows consistency in specifying the requirements for purchasing, comparing the products from different vendors, and verifying the quality of the products.


      Second, the tests with pass/fail criteria are engineered with the purpose of separating tracker designs that are likely to have early failures from those designs that are sound and suitable for use as specified by the manufacturer. Mechanical and environmental testing in this standard is designed to gauge the tracker’s ability to perform under varying operating conditions, as well as to survive extreme conditions. Mechanical testing is not intended to certify structural and foundational designs, because this type of certification is specific to local jurisdictions, soil types, and other local requirements.

      Préface CSA


      Ce document constitue la première édition de la CAN/CSA-C62817, Systèmes photovoltaïques — Qualification de conception des suiveurs solaires. Il s'agit de l'adoption, avec exigences propres au Canada, de la norme IEC (Commission Électrotechnique Internationale) 62817 (première édition, 2014-08), qui porte le même titre. Par souci de brièveté, tout au long de ce document, il sera appelé «CAN/CSA-C62817».


      Cette norme a été élaborée conformément aux exigences du Conseil canadien des normes concernant les Normes nationales du Canada. Cette norme a été publiée en tant que Norme nationale du Canada par Groupe CSA.


      Domaine d'application et objet


      La présente Norme internationale est une norme de qualification de conception applicable aux suiveurs solaires pour systèmes photovoltaïques, mais peut servir aux suiveurs dans d'autres applications solaires. La norme définit les procédures d’essai destinées aussi bien aux composants clés qu’au système suiveur complet. Dans certains cas, les procédures d’essai décrivent des procédés servant à mesurer et/ou calculer des paramètres à rapporter dans la feuille de spécification définie pour le suiveur. Dans d'autres cas, le mode opératoire d'essai se conclut par des critères d'acceptation et de refus.


      L’objectif de la présente norme de qualification de conception est double.


      Premièrement, cette norme donne à l’utilisateur dudit suiveur la garantie que les paramètres rapportés dans la feuille de spécification ont été mesurés par des procédures industrielles cohérentes et acceptées. Cela donne au client une base concrète pour comparer les suiveurs et en choisir un qui corresponde à ses besoins particuliers. La présente norme donne les définitions et les paramètres du secteur applicables aux suiveurs solaires. Chaque vendeur peut ainsi concevoir, fabriquer et spécifier les fonctionnalités et la précision selon une définition uniforme; ce qui permet une cohérence dans la spécification des exigences pour acheter, pour comparer les produits de vendeurs différents et pour vérifier la qualité des produits.


      Deuxièmement, les essais basés sur des critères d'acceptation et de rejet ont pour objet de distinguer les conceptions de suiveur susceptibles de présenter des défaillances prématurément de celles présentant la robustesse nécessaire et correspondant à l’usage spécifié par le fabricant. Les essais mécaniques et environnementaux dans la présente norme sont conçus pour évaluer la capacité du suiveur à fonctionner dans diverses conditions, ainsi qu'à survivre à des conditions extrêmes. Les essais mécaniques ne sont pas destinés à certifier les conceptions structurelle et fondamentale, car ce type de certification est spécifique aux juridictions locales, types de sol et autres exigences locales.
