SOLAR-RADIATION RESEARCH FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONS

This paper gives an overview of the fiscal year 1990 research activities and results under the Solar Radiation Research Task of the Photovoltaic Advanced Research and Development Project at the Solar Energy Research Institute. The activities under this task include developing and applying measurement techniques, instrumentation, and data analysis and modeling to understand and quantify the response of photovoltaic devices to variations in broad-band and spectral solar radiation.
