Thus, calibration services are available for nearly all kinds of PV-devices; including wafer-based standard silicon solar cells in lab and industrial formats, as well as thin-film devices from various materials.
CalLab PV Cells continues to develop additional calibration experience, allowing for measurements which do not (yet) fall under the accreditation. These calibrations and measurements are performed with the same equipment and reference standards as accredited calibrations.
In choosing the most applicable PV calibration method, one should consider the following options: total measurement un- certainty (random plus non-random error), cost (equipment, development time), time required to obtain the calibration value, and generality {applica- bility to any device of any size).
Primary terrestrial calibrations require stable, clear-sky conditions with total irradiances measured with an absolute cavity radiometer , . Other primary terrestrial calibration methods are used by national laboratories worldwide . The instability of most thin-film technologies makes them unsuitable for use as reference cells.
The determination of the spectral response of a device is always necessary if a device is to be calibrated. First, we must always determine the linearity of the short circuit current of the device with irradiation using the White-Light-Response (WLR) technique (see ).
Fig. 2 is an electrical block diagram that illustrates how PV current–voltage measurements are made. A four-wire (or Kelvin) connection to the device under test allows the voltage across the device to be measured by avoiding voltage drops along the wiring in the current measurement loop.

Calibrating Photovoltaic Cells The basic function of a photovoltaic cell is to convert input — sunlight energy expressed in irradiance (W/m2) — into output — useable electrical power — with as little loss as possible. To quantify the ability of the system to accomplish this conversion, one can simply compare the output to
The rapid growth in grid penetration of photovoltaic (PV) calls for more accurate methods to forecast the performance and reliability of PV.
