IEC TS 63092-3:2026

IEC TS 63092-3:2026 is intended to provide a versatile method to determine the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC or g value) of BIPV modules with a variety of designs.
It addresses the calorimetric determination of the g value for BIPV modules by using the hot box method or the cooled plate method in accordance with ISO 19467 and ISO 19467-2. The method takes into account the effect on the g value of extracting photovoltaically generated electricity from the BIPV module in the maximum power point state.
This document applies to BIPV modules as defined in IEC 63092-1 and specifically to BIPV modules with different effective cell area ratios but consisting of identical components such as cells, interconnects, encapsulation and front/back sheets. This evaluation method is applicable to all PV cell technologies and includes coloured BIPV modules.
It is published as a double logo Technical Specification with ISO technical committee 160: Glass in building.
