Paper doi abstract bibtex

Reversible performance changes due to light exposure frustrate repeatable performance measurements on CdTe photovoltaic modules. It is common to use extended light exposure to ensure that measurements are representative of outdoor performance. We quantify the extent to which such a light-exposed state depends on module temperature and consider bias in the dark to aid in stabilization. We evaluate the use of dark forward bias to bring about a performance state equivalent to that obtained with light exposure, and to maintain a light-exposed state prior to standard test condition (STC) performance measurement. Our results indicate that the most promising method for measuring a light-exposed state is to use light exposure at controlled temperature followed by prompt STC measurement with a repeatable time interval between exposure and the STC measurement. © 2014 IEEE.
