Title: Review of Consensus Standard Spectra for Flat Plate and Concentrating Photovoltaic Performance

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1025057· OSTI ID:1025057

Consensus standard reference terrestrial solar spectra are used to establish nameplate ratings for photovoltaic device performance at standard reporting conditions. This report describes reference solar spectra developed in the United States and international consensus standards community which are widely accepted as of this writing (June 2011).
