Abstract :
This paper summarizes the space solar cells calibration campaign performed by Spasolab at Tenerife during July 1999, using the Ground Level Sunlight Method. The calibrated short-circuit current was obtained for 50 solar cells and the intensity-voltage curve for 14 solar cells. Global sunlight value and the spectral irradiance of the natural sunlight were measured in situ at the same time
