New Classification for Reference Solar Spectral Irradiances: Direct Normal and Hemispherical on 37° Tilted Surface for Terrestrial Photovoltaic Applications
1. Scope
These Standard reference solar spectral irradiance tables are adopted from G173-03 and solely used for terrestrial PV application.
Keywords
PV performance rating, Solar irradiance
Rationale
This new standard is created to solve the discontinuity issue of PV efficiency calculation. It will be used in PV testing labs, PV manufacturing companies, and solar farm developers, for performance measurements of PV products and PV researchers.
