Extensive modeled terrestrial solar spectral data sets with solar-cell analysis
By use of the BRITE radiative transfer code, 31 new spectra have been generated and are presented in tabular and graphical form. These spectra used the revised extraterrestrial spectrum of Neckel and Labs, an improved Rayleigh scattering calculation, and other minor improvements. The spectra include direct normal, global normal, and global horizontal irradiance for several air mass values and for turbidities of 0.1 and 0.27 at 0.5-..mu..m wavelength. Several of these spectra were used with spectral response curves from Si, CdS/Cu/sub 2/S, GaAs, and ..cap alpha..-Si to determine the effects of air mass and turbidity on direct normal and global normal primary reference cell measurement procedures. Results from these solar cell analyses are presented.
