適用范圍：IEC standards for photovoltaic devices require the use of specific classes of solar simulatorsdeemed appropriate for specific tests. Solar simulators can be either used for performancemeasurements of PV devices or endurance irradiation tests. This part of IEC 60904 providesthe definitions of and means for determining simulator classifications. In the case of PVperformance measurements, using a solar simulator of high class does not eliminate the needto quantify the influence of the simulator on the measurement by making spectral mismatchcorrections and analyzing the influences of uniformity of irradiance of the test plane andtemporal stability on that measurement. Test reports for devices tested with the simulatorshall list the class of simulator used for the measurement and the method used to quantify thesimulator’s effect on the results.The purpose of this standard is to define classifications of solar simulators for use in indoormeasurements of terrestrial photovoltaic devices, solar simulators are classified as A, B or Cfor each of the three categories based on criteria of spectral distribution match, irradiancenon-uniformity on the test plane and temporal instability. This standard provides the requiredmethodologies for determining the rating achieved by a solar simulator in each of thecategories.This standard is referred to by other IEC standards in which class requirements are laid downfor the use of solar simulators. Solar simulators for irradiance exposure should at least fulfilclass CCC requirements where the third letter is related to long term instability. In the case ofuse for PV performance measurements, classification CBA is demanded where the third letteris related to the short term instability.
