ABSTRACT: International standards play an important role in the Photovoltaic industry. Since PV is such a global industry it is critical that PV products be measured and qualified the same way everywhere in the world. IEC TC82 has developed and published a number of module and component measurement and qualification standards.
Previously, we reported the results of the initial cali-bration of the WPVS reference cell group . For the 20 reference cells calibrated by four national laboratories, an overall 2s standard deviation of 1.9% was achieved.
Part 3, still a Committee Draft, describes the calculations for PV module energy rating. Due to the complexity of the procedure of the standard, several laboratories have developed simplified procedures for energy rating of PV modules , , , , , .
The calibration and use of radiometric instruments such as pyrheliometers, spectroradiometers, and pyranometers is a subject that is beyond the scope of this chapter, but these instruments are important for PV measurements. A number of standards for radiometric instrumentation are available , , , , , .
