Photovoltaic devices - Part 3: Measurement principles for terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) solar devices with reference spectral irradiance data

IEC 60904-3:2008 describes basic measurement principles for determining the electrical output of PV devices. The principles given in this standard are designed to relate the performance rating of PV devices to a common reference terrestrial solar spectral irradiance distribution. Covers testing in both natural and simulated sunlight. The main changes with respect to the previous edition include an extended wavelength range and the use of uniform wavelength intervals.

Dispositifs photovoltaïques - Partie 3: Principes de mesure des dispositifs solaires photovoltaïques (PV) à usage terrestre incluant les données de l'éclairement spectral de référence

La CEI 60904-3:2008 décrit des principes de mesure pour la détermination de la sortie électrique des dispositifs PV. Les principes indiqués dans la présente norme sont prévus pour relier les caractéristiques de performance des dispositifs PV à une répartition spectrale de l'éclairement solaire terrestre de référence commune. Comprend les mesures effectuées sous éclairement solaire naturel ou simulé. Les principaux changements par rapport à l'édition précédente incluent une extension de la gamme de longueur d'onde et l'utilisation d'intervalles de longueurs d'onde uniformes.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2008-05-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,

Foreword
The text of document 82/511/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60904-3, prepared by IEC TC 82, Solar
photovoltaic energy systems, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by
CENELEC as EN 60904-3 on 2008-05-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60904-3:1993.
The main changes with respect to EN 60904-3:1993 are as follows:
− wavelength range extended deeper into the ultraviolet (280 nm instead of 305 nm);
− sunfacing surface considered;
− uniform wavelength intervals used (0,5 nm up to 400 nm, 1 nm up to 1 700 nm, 5 nm up to 4 000 nm);
better resolution than in EN 60904-3:1993;
− more representative atmospheric conditions are considered;
− the model used to generate the spectrum has changed from BRITE to SMARTS (version 2.9), which is
publicly available.
In addition, the terminology annex has been removed from EN 60904-3:2008 because this part is now
included in IEC/TS 61836:2007. The titles of some clauses have been changed (others have been added)
to accord with the usual structure of IEC standards.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-02-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2011-05-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
