World Photovoltaic Scale: An International Reference Cell Calibration Program

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    This paper presents an overview of the World Photovoltaic Scale (WPVS) international reference cell calibration program. The WPVS provides a scale for PV performance measurements that has been established; through round-robin calibration of a group of primary reference cells and is traceable to Syst?me International (SI) units. Procedures for recalibration of the reference cell group have beenrecently devised, along with procedures for admittance and calibration of new reference cells. A reference cell package has been designed that meets the unique; needs of the WPVS. It is hoped that the existing WPVS group will eventually be replaced with cells of the new design that have passed an acceptance test procedure.
