Implication

Metrological evaluation reveals reduced measurement uncertainty in photovoltaic device calibration, suggesting optimized reference strategies enhance industrial solar power ratings.

Key Points

To assess and mitigate measurement uncertainties across the transfer steps within the calibration traceability chain for photovoltaic devices.
Analyzed uncertainty sources across various traceability chain options using accreditation data from the European Solar Test Installation (ESTI).
Compared device calibration traceability derived from the World Photovoltaic Scale directly against calibrations using an ESTI reference cell set.
Identified primary reference device calibration as the largest single contributor to overall measurement uncertainty.
Reduced the expanded combined uncertainty for maximum power in photovoltaic modules from ±2.6% to below ±2% by implementing the ESTI reference cell set.
