Hi Ken, A 500W incandescent light will give you some voltage/current from your solar panel, but it won't be representative of actual sunlight if this is important to your test. The spectrum (or energy) for artificial light will not be the same as the spectrum of sunlight. UL 1703 makes reference to a few different standards, including ASTM E927 <https://www.astm.org/Standards/E927.htm>, which describes performance requirements for a solar simulator <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_simulator>. IEC 60904-9 <https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/3880> does the same. Here <http://www.eternalsun.com/industries/certification/> is an example of a solar simulator manufacturer claiming that their product is appropriate for PV cert testing, including for IEC 61215 <https://webstore.iec.ch/preview/info_iec61215-1%7Bed1.0%7Db.pdf>. This is very likely overkill for what you need to do, but you should be aware of the limitations of using a common incandescent.
IEC 62920:2017 covers PCE (power conversion equipment, i.e. the inverter), but not the modules themselves so I don't believe it has guidance on an artificial light source.
