Implication

Standardization study reports an international calibration system in primary monocrystalline silicon reference cells, highlighting SI-traceable photovoltaic performance measurements.

Key Points

To describe the establishment, recalibration, and maintenance procedures of the World Photovoltaic Scale (WPVS) for global photovoltaic performance measurements.
Conducted round-robin calibration of a designated group of primary monocrystalline silicon reference cells across participating international laboratories.
Devised formalized procedures for regular recalibration of the primary group and the qualification and admittance of new reference cells.
Engineered an updated reference cell packaging design accompanied by a comprehensive acceptance-test protocol.
Established an internationally recognized photovoltaic performance scale with direct traceability to Système International (SI) units.
Implemented standardized operational criteria for laboratory admittance, cross-calibration, and replacement of reference cells.
Developed a purpose-built reference cell package intended to replace older existing WPVS reference cells following acceptance testing.
