Abstract :
Recently, the ISO standards organization has requested the PV community to establish AM0 calibration methodologies for space power solar cells. The PV community responded by organizing a series of workshops to review and recommend AM0 calibration techniques. One of the activities of the workshop is to review the various calibration methodologies and conduct a comprehensive uncertainty analysis of each method. This paper outlines NASA´s methodology of AM0 calibration using the high-altitude aircraft method
