O Inmetro (National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology) is a Brazilian institution responsible for establishing quality and safety standards for a wide variety of products.

In the context of renewable energies, the NBR 16,767 September 2019 defines general requirements and test methods for stationary elements and batteries used in photovoltaic systems not connected to the electrical grid (off-grid).

What is Inmetro and NBR 16.767?

Inmetro, as a regulatory body, aims to ensure that products available on the market meet specific criteria, providing safety and quality to consumers.

NBR 16,767, in turn, establishes precise guidelines for elements and stationary batteries, ensuring that they meet the essential requirements for efficient application in off-grid photovoltaic systems.

When certifying equipment for off-grid photovoltaic systems, Inmetro's main concern is to ensure that these products meet safety standards. electrical safety, durability and energy efficiency.

This includes checking compliance with the specifications of the NBR 16,767, ensuring that the lithium batteries, essential components in these systems, are safe, reliable and efficient.

Importance of attesting durability and life projection

A Inmetro certification not only certifies the conformity of a product with standards, but also guarantees durability and useful life projection.

In off-grid photovoltaic systems, where energy autonomy is crucial, choosing certified batteries provides greater confidence in the equipment's resistance over time. This not only reduces maintenance costs, but also contributes to the sustainability of the system.

Guaranteed return on investment with certified equipment

Investing in equipment certified by Inmetro for off-grid photovoltaic systems is more than a compliance choice – it is a guarantee of return on investment.

Certification ensures that products meet established standards, resulting in consistent performance, reducing operational risks and increasing system efficiency over time.

Life projection of lithium batteries and their impact on the off-grid photovoltaic system

The life projection of lithium batteries certified by Inmetro plays a fundamental role in boosting off-grid photovoltaic systems.

By ensuring a longer and more reliable service life, these batteries contribute to the operational stability of the system, reducing the need for frequent replacements and optimizing long-term investment.

Inmetro certification in lithium batteries for off-grid photovoltaic systems is not just a regulatory measure, but a strategic choice for consumers and investors.

Ensuring compliance with NBR 16,767 not only promotes product safety and quality, but also boosts the efficiency and sustainability of off-grid photovoltaic systems, consolidating itself as a fundamental piece in the development and growth of renewable energy in Brazil.
