Title: User handbook for Block IV silicon-solar-cell modules

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7151253· OSTI ID:7151253

The essential electrical and mechanical characteristics of Block IV photovoltaic solar-cell modules that have been tested by JPL are described. Such module characteristics as power output, nominal operating voltage, current-voltage characteristics, nominal operating cell temperature, and dimensions are tabulated. The limits of the environmental and other stress tests to which the modules are subjected are briefly described. Potential users of modules will find this listing helpful in selecting modules for use in arrays or alone.
