During the last few decades, and in some cases only the last few years, novel thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), organic solar cells (OPV), and, more recently, perovskite-based solar cells (PSC) have been growing in maturity with respect to device performance and device stability.
The segmentation of PV modules into individual solar cells is related to the detection of calibration patterns, such as checkerboard patterns commonly used for calibrating intrinsic camera and lens parameters [29, 36, 41, 69, 79].However, the appearance of calibration patterns is typically perfectly known, whereas detection of solar cells is encumbered by various …

Because solar cells convert light to electricity, radiometry is a very important facet of PV metrology. Radiometric measurements have the potential to introduce large errors in any given PV performance measurement because radiometric instrumentation and detectors can have total errors of up to 5% even with careful calibration [12], [13].Other errors can be introduced …

• The spectral responsivity of the module must be determined via a cell that is representative of the module or wires connected to a single cell in the module being calibrated. • There should be no inherent instabilities or metastable behavior such as in amorphous silicon. • The maximum V oc for cells is 40 V and for modules is 290 V. The ...
In order to create a worldwide reference for irradiance measurement in PV, the ''World Photovoltaic Scale'' (WPVS) was established in the mid-1990s [1–6] for calibration of PV cells. The WPVS compared primary calibration methods for reference cells, which is one of the most important tasks in PV module and cell measurement.

2015. Performance of a PV installation depends critically on the modules behaviour. That is the reason why a good estimation of energy production of a PV installation relies not only on the goodness of the module power characterization at standard test conditions, but also on the goodness of the characterisation of the module behaviour related to the variation of irradiance …
