Photovoltaic devices - Part 7: Computation of the spectral mismatch correction for measurements of photovoltaic devices

IEC 60904-7:2008 describes the procedure for correcting the bias error introduced in the testing of a photovoltaic device, caused by the mismatch between the test spectrum and the reference spectrum and by the mismatch between the spectral responses (SR) of the reference cell and of the test specimen. The procedure applies only to photovoltaic devices linear in SR as defined in IEC 60904-10. This procedure is valid for single junction devices but the principle may be extended to cover multijunction devices. This new edition includes the following changes with respect to the previous one: description of when it is necessary to use the method and when it may not be needed; addition of new clauses.

Dispositifs photovoltaïques - Partie 7: Calcul de la correction de désadaptation des réponses spectrales dans les mesures de dispositifs photovoltaïques

La CEI 60904-7:2008 décrit la procédure pour corriger l'erreur de justesse de mesure introduite dans l'essai d'un dispositif photovoltaïque, due d'une part à la désadaptation du spectre pour l'essai et du spectre de référence, et d'autre part à la désadaptation entre les réponses spectrales de la cellule de référence et du spécimen en essai. La procédure s'applique seulement aux dispositifs photovoltaïques linéaires en réponses spectrales tels que définis dans la CEI 60904-10. Cette procédure est valable pour les dispositifs à jonction unique mais le principe peut être étendu aux dispositifs à multi-jonctions. Cette nouvelle édition contient les différences suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: une description indiquant quand il faut utiliser la méthode et quand elle n'est pas nécessaire; ajout de nouveaux paragraphes.

“mismatch error” to “mismatch correction”);
– formulae are now accompanied by explanatory text;
– Clause 3 “Description of method” now describes when it is necessary to use the method and when it

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60904-7 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 82: Solar
photovoltaic energy systems.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
82/540/FDIS 82/547/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1998. It constitutes a
technical revision. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
• the title has been modified in order to better reflect the purpose of the standard (changed
from “mismatch error” to “mismatch correction”);

– 4 – 60904-7 © IEC:2008
• formulae are now accompanied by explanatory text;
• Clause 3 “Description of method” now describes when it is necessary to use the method
and when it may not be needed. It describes what data must be collected before the
mismatch correction can be calculated;
• Clauses 4, 5 and 6 have added;
• the formula for the mismatch correction has been corrected.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of IEC 60904 series, published under the general title Photovoltaic devices,
can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in
the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

This part of IEC 60904 describes the procedure for correcting the bias error introduced in the
testing of a photovoltaic device, caused by the mismatch between the test spectrum and the
reference spectrum and by the mismatch between the spectral responses (SR) of the
reference cell and of the test specimen. The procedure applies only to photovoltaic devices
linear in SR as defined in IEC 60904-10. This procedure is valid for single junction devices
but the principle may be extended to cover multijunction devices.
The purpose of this standard is to give guidelines for the correction of measurement bias,
should there be a mismatch between both the test spectrum and the
