Such measurements typically:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Record current-voltage (<i>I-V<\/i>) data while illuminating the module with a solar simulator;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Are performed on 100 % of manufactured modules, in order to determine whether they meet nameplate requirements for various bins spanning different power output levels.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This type of measurement is widespread and performed in high volume by PV module manufacturers worldwide. As it is desirable to have consistent measurement practices across the industry, this document describes the following features of such measurements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Essential elements, in order to provide common understanding;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Common issues or complications;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Sources of error and uncertainty, including recommendations to minimize them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Understanding of <i>P<\/i><sub>max<\/sub> measurement uncertainties is expected to be useful in application of other IEC documents, such as IEC 61215-1 and IEC 62941, where Pmax tolerances and uncertainties must be determined. Whenever possible, this document references specific IEC documents covering topics in more detail. Where no such documents exist, this document provides guidance and recommendations based on other publications relevant to the PV industry.<\/p>\n<h4>PDF Catalog<\/h4>\n<table border=\"1px\" class=\"des-table\">\n<tr>\n<th>PDF Pages<\/th>\n<th>PDF Title<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>2<b><\/td>\n<td>undefined  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>4<b><\/td>\n<td>CONTENTS  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>6<b><\/td>\n<td>FOREWORD  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>8<b><\/td>\n<td>1 Scope <br \/> 2 Normative references  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>9<b><\/td>\n<td>3 Terms and definitions <br \/> 4 Measurement principles <br \/> 4.1 Measurement of I-V curves  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>10<b><\/td>\n<td>4.2 Standard test conditions <br \/> 4.2.1 General <br \/> Figures <br \/> Figure 1 \u2013 Application of IEC documents to report STC Pmax values, adapted from published work [1]    <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>11<b><\/td>\n<td>4.2.2 Additional practical considerations <br \/> 4.2.3 Deviations from STC, errors, and uncertainties <br \/> Figure 2 \u2013 Graphical summary of STC (cross-sectional view of module)  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>13<b><\/td>\n<td>Tables <br \/> Table 1 \u2013 Factors contributing to Pmax uncertainty  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>14<b><\/td>\n<td>4.3 Solar simulators <br \/> 4.3.1 General <br \/> Table 2 \u2013 Summary of effects due to deviations from STC and factors of 4.2.2  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>15<b><\/td>\n<td>4.3.2 Solar simulator requirements in relevant IEC documents <br \/> 4.3.3 Spectral distribution of irradiance  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>16<b><\/td>\n<td>4.3.4 Spatial non-uniformity of irradiance  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>17<b><\/td>\n<td>4.3.5 Temporal instability of irradiance  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>18<b><\/td>\n<td>4.3.6 Angular distribution of irradiance <br \/> 4.4 Reference modules <br \/> 4.4.1 General  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>19<b><\/td>\n<td>4.4.2 Irradiance monitoring <br \/> 4.4.3 Reference device requirements in relevant IEC documents  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>20<b><\/td>\n<td>4.4.4 Reference module characteristics <br \/> Figure 3 \u2013 Example traceability chain for production PV modules, adapted from published work [10]  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>21<b><\/td>\n<td>4.5 Calibration and operation procedures of measurement equipment <br \/> 4.5.1 General <br \/> 4.5.2 Calibration and operation procedure requirements in relevant IEC documents  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>22<b><\/td>\n<td>4.5.3 Calibration frequency <br \/> 4.5.4 Factors affecting calibration of measurement equipment  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>23<b><\/td>\n<td>Table 3 \u2013 Types of production module Pmax errors that can be partially cancelled by setting solar simulator irradiance using a matched reference module   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>24<b><\/td>\n<td>Dashed lines represent optional validation checks. <br \/> Figure 4 \u2013 Flowchart describing solar simulator irradiance adjustment based on reference module Pmax;
