**Executive Summary**
This notification from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) extends the implementation timeline for the "Solar Systems, Devices and Components Goods Order, 2025" regarding high-capacity SPV inverters (>200 kW). Due to limited testing facilities, the deadline for self-certification has been extended from June 30, 2026, to December 31, 2026, or until further orders. Manufacturers must meet specific Indian and international standards to qualify for this extension.
**Key Points / Main Content**
**Extension of Implementation**
* The implementation of the 2025 Order for SPV inverters (items 4-5) with a capacity exceeding 200 kW is extended until December 31, 2026.
* This extension supersedes the previous deadline of June 30, 2026, provided under the notification dated August 5, 2025.
* The extension is granted to facilitate compliance in light of limited available testing infrastructure.
**Conditions for Self-Certification**
* Manufacturers may use self-certification for compliance during this extended period.
* Self-certification is subject to manufacturers holding valid IEC certificates that correspond to the mandated Indian Standards (IS).
* Manufacturers must obtain test reports from accredited test laboratories as specified in the original order for these items.
**Mandated Standards**
* **Item No. 4:** Must comply with IS 16221 (Part 2): 2015 / IEC 62109-2: 2011 and IS/IEC 61683: 1999.
