Determining Outdoor CPV Cell Temperature (Presentation)
Conference

OSTI ID:1019174
An accurate method is needed for determining cell temperature when measuring CPV modules outdoors. It has been suggested that cell temperature can be calculated though a procedure that shutters sunlight to the cells while measuring the transients in open-circuit voltage (Voc) and heat sink temperature. This presentation documents application of this shutter procedure to multiple CPV modules atNREL. The challenges and limitations are presented along with an alternate approach to measuring CPV cell operating temperature.
