What are solar cells (modules) standards?
Standards from this category regulate solar cells (modules) characteristic measurement, solar cells (modules) tests and other standards referring to solar cells (modules) production and testing - production procedure, mechanic or electric photovoltaic module testing, I-U module characteristics measurement etc.
What is a good temperature to test solar cells?
For example, in the European standard, an activation energy of 0.7 eV determined many years ago for silicon devices is assumed.
