1.  Outdoor solar measurement comparison

Two  SpectroSolar  units  were  taken  to Davos,  Switzerland,  at  the  PMOD/WRD  (Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium  Davos,  World  Radiation  Center)  during  the 11th  International Pyrheliometer Comparisons (IPC-XI).

Solar  irradiance measured  with  our SpectroSolar  units  has been compared to data recorded by a scanning double-monochromator (Optronic  Laboratories, Inc. The OL Series 750). Both  the  SpactroSolar units and  the  double-monochromator  were mounted  on  sun-trackers.



Data from our SpectroSolar units, with 1ms integration time, is compared to measurements by the double-monochromator is presented in Figure 2.
Note  that  the SpectroSolar optical resolution (5nm)  is  slightly higher  than  the resolution  of  the double-monochromator. Differences  in relative  energy, integrated  over 50nm  bands,  are below 3%.





2.  Measurement of pulsed-type solar simulators
The SpectroSolar has been designed with special emphasis on measuring pulse-type solar simulators. It  is  capable of  measuring the  relative  irradiance of short-pulsed solar  simulators in  1ms  exposure time. Figure 3 shows data  recorded  by the SpectroSolar  on  two  different  pulsed  solar  simulators. This  data  was recorded  with  an integration (exposure)  time of 1ms, and using a  delay  of  4ms between  the trigger  signal
generated  by  the integrated photocell and the start  of  the exposure

The international norm IEC 609604-9 for solar simulators classifies solar simulators (class A, B or C) according to the their specral-match to sunlight at Air Mass 1.5 Global as defined in IEC 60904-3. For 6 wavelength intervals of interest, the fraction of energy measured on the simulator is compared to this “standardized” solar energy  distribution.  A  value  of  100%  means  that  the  fraction  of  energy produced by the solar simulator exactly corresponds to the energy fraction specified for that band in the IEC 609604-9 norm. “Class A” requires that the energy fraction lies between 75 and 125% of the standard value for all wavelength intervals.

In  this  example,  both  solar simulators produce  a spectral-match of  Class  A,  because  the  all wavelength intervals have energy fractions lying between 75 and 125% of the IEC 609604-9 norm. The software included with the SpectroSolar automatically makes these calculations, thus results are immediately available after the measurement!
