Photovoltaic devices -- Part 1: Measurement of photovoltaic current-voltage characteristics

This part of IEC 60904 describes procedures for the measurement of current-voltage characteristics of photovoltaic devices in natural or simulated sunlight. These procedures are applicable to a single photovoltaic solar cell, a sub-assembly of photovoltaic solar cells, or a PV module.

Photovoltaische Einrichtungen -- Teil 1: Messen der photovoltaischen Strom-/Spannungskennlinien

Dispositifs photovoltaïques -- Partie 1: Mesure des caractéristiques courant-tension des dispositifs photovoltaïques

Décrit les procédures de mesure des caractéristiques courant-tension des dispositifs photovoltaïques au silicium cristallin sous éclairement solaire naturel ou simulé. Ces procédures sont applicables aux cellules solaires individuelles, aux assemblages de cellules solaires et aux modules plans.

Fotonapetostne naprave – 1. del: Merjenje fotonapetostnih tokovno napetostnih karakteristik (IEC 60904-1:2006)

Ta del IEC 60904 predstavlja postopke za merjenje fotonapetostnih, tokovno napetostnih karakteristik fotonapetostnih naprav v naravni ali simulirani sončni svetlobi, ki se nanašajo na samostojno fotonapetostno solarno celico, sestavo fotonapetostnih solarnih celic, ali PV-modulov.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-10-01. 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, 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


1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all
national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote international
cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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 liaison with the IEC also parti
