However, such outdoor performance assessments usually suffer from poor accuracies due to undefined test conditions for the modules. This paper reports on a comprehensive concept for improved outdoor analysis which results in performance data with indoor laboratory precision. The approach delivers current-voltage characteristics for even more test conditions than required by the standard IEC 61853-1. Hence, curves of modules' electrical parameters above irradiance can be deduced for any temperatures. The concept allows precise determination of temperature coefficients for user-defined irradiances taking into account outdoor effects like light-soaking or light-induced degradation. The calibration and measurement uncertainty of the presented outdoor analysis method is evaluated quantitatively. For the measurements an advanced outdoor set-up was used.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchneiderPflaumGottschalketal.2018, author = {Schneider, S. and Pflaum, D. and Gottschalk, L. and Schulze, Achim and H{\"u}ttl, B.}, title = {Laborgenaue elektrische Charakterisierungen von PV-Modulen unter Feldbedingungen}, series = {1.

Effective irradiation is determined in self-referencing scheme: the short circuit current of the module is assigned to the irradiation. This assignment has to be calibrated, preferably at standard test conditions for irradiation. In this contribution we demonstrate a process of precise measurement of Isc under clear-sky outdoor conditions and the determination of the short circuit current for STC. The measurement method avoids errors by spectral deviations with respect to AM 1.5G spectrum, by optical reflection losses for high angles of incidence and errors by high albedo impact. In particular we investigate comparatively a CdTe module under outdoor conditions and by means a calibrated indoor Lab flasher.}, language = {en} }
