本性能标准适用于所有地面光伏发电系统（平板和集中器），无论其大小或应用。其主要目的是提出一个总体框架，以便制定所有其他地面太阳能光伏发电系统性能辅助标准。

This standard for performance criteria applies to all terrestrial photovoltaic power systems (flat plate and concentrators) regardless of size or application. Its principal purpose is to present an overall framework into which all other terrestrial solar photovoltaic power system performance ancillary standards can be developed.
