Abstract

Results of a cell and module measurement intercomparison, begun in June 1992, with eight US laboratories participating, are presented. The intercomparison is sponsored by ASTM technical subcommittee E44.09, “Photovoltaic Electric Power Systems,” for the purpose of obtaining inter-laboratory and intra-laboratory precision values for a number of important ASTM photovoltaic performance measurement standards. These standards include primary and secondary reference cell calibrations, cell performance measurements, spectral response measurements, and module performance measurements. Participating laboratories included PV manufacturers, the DOE national PV laboratories, and PV measurement equipment manufacturers
