Photovoltaic devices - Part 1: Measurement of photovoltaic current-voltage characteristics
IEC 60904-1:2020 describes procedures for the measurement of current-voltage characteristics (I-V curves) of photovoltaic (PV) devices in natural or simulated sunlight. These procedures are applicable to a single PV solar cell, a sub-assembly of PV solar cells, or a PV module. This document is applicable to non-concentrating PV devices for use in terrestrial environments, with reference to (usually but not exclusively) the global reference spectral irradiance AM1.5 defined in IEC 60904-3.This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:- Updated scope to include all conditions.- Added terms and definitions.- Reorganised document to avoid unnecessary duplication.- Added data analysis clause.- Added informative annexes (area measurement, PV devices with capacitance, dark I-V curves and effect of spatial non-uniformity of irradiance).

Photovoltaic devices - Part 1: Measurement of photovoltaic current-voltage characteristics
Describes procedures for the measurement of current-voltage characteristics of photovoltaic devices in natural or simulated sunlight. Lays down basic requirements for the measurement, defines procedures for different measuring techniques in use and shows practices for minimising measurement uncertainty.
