Status of photovoltaic calibration and measurement standards

摘要

The 7{sup}th International Workshop on Space Solar Cell Calibration and Measurement was held on September 25-27, 2000 in Girdwood Alaska. Representatives from eight countries discussed international standards for single and multijunction solar cell measurement and calibration methods, round robin intercomparisons, and irradiation test methods for space solar cells. Progress toward adoption of an ISO standard on single junction cells was made. Agreement was reached to begin work on new standards for multijunction cells and irradiation testing. Progress on present single junction round robin measurements was discussed and future multijunction round robins were planned. The next workshop will beheld in Germany in October 2001.
