Standard Test Method for Electrical Performance of Photovoltaic Cells Using Reference Cells Under Simulated Sunlight

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method provides a procedure for testing and reporting the electrical performance of photovoltaic cells.

5.2 The test results may be used for comparison of cells among a group of similar cells or to compare diverse designs, such as different manufacturers' products. Repeated measurements of the same cell may be used to study changes in device performance.

5.3 This test method determines the electrical performance of a photovoltaic cell at a single instant of time and the results do no imply any past or future performance.

5.4 This test method requires a linear reference cell calibrated with respect to an appropriate reference spectral irradiance distribution, such as Tables E490 or G173. It is the responsibility of the user to determine which reference spectral irradiance distribution is appropriate for a particular application.
