Computation of spectral mismatch error introduced in the testing of a photovoltaic device (future IEC 60904-xx) 1) Description A reference solar module is a specially calibrated module which is used to measure natural or simulated irradiance or set simulator irradiance levels for measuring the performance of other modules having similar spectral response, optical characteristics, dimensions and electrical circuitry Selection A module selected for calibration as a reference module shall meet the following requirements: 1) its photovoltaic characteristics shall be stable (see Clause ); 2) it should not contain by-pass diodes; 3) if it is made from discrete cells, they shall be matched in short-circuit current and fill factor within ±2 %; 4) the short-circuit current of the reference module shall vary linearly with irradiance over the range of interest The use of the reference module shall be restricted to the following: 1) where errors introduced due to spectral response mismatch between the reference module and test modules (i.e., modules to be measured using the reference module for setting the irradiance) are less than ±1 % The spectral mismatch error shall be calculated according to the future standard IEC 60904-xx; 2) where the dimensions, mechanical construction and electrical circuitry of the reference module and test modules correspond sufficiently so as to minimize discrepancies due to simulator non-uniformity, internal reflections or temperature distribution; 3) the short-circuit current of the reference module shall vary linearly with irradiance over the range of interest, as defined in IEC 60904-10 2) 1) 2) At present at the stage of Draft International Standard IEC 60904-10:1998, Photovoltaic devices — Part 10: Methods of linearity measurement © BSI 23 April 2003 EN 60904-6:1994 Temperature measurement Means shall be provided for determining the equivalent cell temperature (ECT), according to the relevant IEC standard to a precision of ±1 °C Electrical connections The electrical connections to the reference module shall be designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60904-1 Calibration Each reference module shall be calibrated in terms of its short-circuit current at standard test conditions (STC) A method of calibrating reference modules is described in Clause 10 The relative spectral response and the temperature coefficient of the short-circuit current of reference modules may be measured directly, or deduced from measurements made on representative encapsulated solar cells as described in the relevant IEC standards Data sheet Each time a reference module is calibrated, the following information shall be recorded on a data sheet: — manufacturer; — model designation; — serial number; — date of manufacture; — type and dimensions of cells; — construction and dimensions of module; — electrical circuit layout; — calibration organization; — site and date of calibration; — calibration method (refer to relevant standards); — primary reference cell identification; — light source description; — parameters for the determination of the equivalent cell temperature (see the relevant IEC standard); — relative spectral response of the module or a representative encapsulated solar cell; — temperature coefficient of short-circuit current; — calibration value of short-circuit current at STC; — estimated uncertainty Marking The reference module shall carry a clear, indelible serial number for cross-reference to its data sheet © BSI 23 April 2003 EN 60904-6:1994 Care of reference modules The front surface of the reference module shall be kept clean and scratch-free It shall be protected against damage, contamination and degradation A reference module exhibiting any defect which might impair its function shall not be used Reference modules shall be recalibrated at least once every 12 months The calibration of a reference module shall be cross-checked against a stable reference module (or cell) at intervals of no more than three months by comparing their short-circuit currents under the same irradiance If there is any change in their current ratios beyond ±1 %, the module(s) shall be recalibrated If the short-circuit current of a reference module has changed by more than % of the initial calibration, the module shall not be used as a reference module 10 A method for calibration of reference modules against a spectrally matched primary reference cell This clause describes a procedure for calibrating a reference module in natural or simulated sunlight against a primary reference cell whose calibration is based on a radiometer or standard detector conforming to the current world radiometric reference (WRR) The spectral response of the primary reference cell, and that of the reference module to be calibrated, should match as closely as possible 10.1 Natural sunlight Calibration in natural sunlight shall be carried out under the following conditions 10.1.1 Clear, sunny weather, with the diffuse irradiance not greater than 25 % of the global irradiance 10.1.2 No observable cloud formations within a 30 ° half-angle cone surrounding the sun 10.1.3 Total irradiance (sun + sky + ground reflection) not less than 800 W·m –2 , as measured by the primary reference cell 10.1.4 Air mass between AM 1,25 and AM 1,75 10.1.5 Radiation sufficiently stable so that the variation in reference cell short-circuit current is less than ±0,5 % over the time taken for a measurement 10.2 Simulator If simulated sunlight is used, the simulator shall be of Class A in accordance with the relevant IEC standard, with the additional requirement that the non-uniformity of irradiance is less than ±1 % 10.3 Test procedure 10.3.1 Before the calibration, measure the relative spectral response and temperature coefficients of short- circuit current of the reference module or a representative encapsulated solar cell using the procedures described in the relevant IEC standards 10.3.2 Mount the primary reference cell and the reference module co-planar and in close proximity on the same mount Connect to the current and temperature measurement instruments Adjust the mount so that the devices are normal to the light source within ±5 ° 10.3.3 Control the cell temperatures of both the primary cell and the module at 25 °C ± °C Where this is not practical, readings of short-circuit currents must be subsequently corrected to 25 °C in accordance with IEC 60891 10.3.4 Record simultaneous readings of the short-circuit currents and temperatures of both primary cell and module 10.3.5 Repeat step 10.3.4 until five successive sets of readings are obtained in which the ratio of short-circuit currents, corrected to 25 °C, does not vary by more than ±1 % 10.3.6 When calibrating in natural sunlight, steps 10.3.2 to 10.3.5 inclusive, must be performed at least twice a day on at least three separate days © BSI 23 April 2003 EN 60904-6:1994 10.3.7 From the acceptable data, calculate the mean ratio: of reference module at 25 °C Isc of primary reference cell at 25 °C Isc 10.3.8 Multiply the calibration value of the primary reference cell by the calculated mean ratio to obtain the calibration value of the reference module 11 An alternate method for the calibration of reference modules This clause describes an extension of the procedure given in Clause 10 for calibrating reference modules This method eliminates the requirement for close spectral response matching between the primary reference cell and the reference module, and is necessary when no spectral match is possible (such as with new module technologies, or when calibrating against a precision pyranometer or an absolute radiometer) This extension is based on calibrating in natural or simulated sunlight, measuring the spectral irradiance of the light source during the calibration, and subsequently correcting for any spectral mismatch between the primary reference cell and the reference module according to IEC 60904-1 Including 10.1 and 10.2 , this procedure, which requires an instrument to measure the relative spectral irradiance (spectroradiometer), is the same as described in 10.3 , with the following changes: 1) In step 10.3.2 , mount the spectroradiometer co-planar and in close proximity to the primary reference cell and reference module 2) Step 10.3.4 has to be carried out as follows: Record simultaneous readings of the short-circuit currents and temperatures of both primary cell and module, and the relative spectral irradiance of the light source 3) Step 10.3.7 has to be carried out as follows: To the acceptable data, apply the spectral mismatch correction factor in accordance with the relevant IEC standard to the measured short-circuit current values of the reference module Assure the use of corresponding data sets for short-circuit current and spectral irradiance NOTE The range of all integrals in the equations of the relevant IEC standard should correspond to the range of the measured spectral irradiance of the light source The resulting short-circuit current value is the Isc of the reference module at 25 °C Calculate the mean ratio: spectrally-corrected Isc of reference module at 25 °C Isc of primary reference cell at 25 °C © BSI 23 April 2003 EN 60904-6:1 994 Annex ZA (normative) Other international publications quoted in this standard with the
