MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES FOR SILICON SOLAR CELLS.
Abstract
The problem of correlating the measured radiation energy intensity of several flux detectors under the carbon-arc, xenon, and tungsten-filament lamps as solar simulators is complex. Associated factors of basic importance in understanding this correlation are spectral continuity, stability, spectral distribution, and uniformity of intensity of the artificial light sources. A procedure for establishing accurate, incident radiation flux or input energy under the mentioned light sources is essential to insure agreement in solar-cell efficiency measurements. The use of this correlation is illustrated in the reporting of the performance characteristics of the Westinghouse dendritic, silicon, standard, and drift-field, solar-cell arrays. (Author)
