BS EN 60904-8-1:2017 gives guidance for the measurement of the spectral responsivity (SR)
of multi-junction photovoltaic devices. It is principally intended for non-concentrating devices,
but parts may be applicable also to concentrating multi-junction PV devices. The SR is
required for analysis of measured current-voltage characteristics of multi-junction PV devices
as described in IEC 60904-1-1.The requirements for measurement of SR of single-junction PV devices are covered by
IEC 60904-8, whereas this document describes the additional requirements for the
measurement of SR of multi-junction PV devices. This document only considers the
measurement of SR of individual junction layers within a two-terminal multi-junction device.This document may be applicable to PV devices designed for use under concentrated
irradiation if they are measured without the optics for concentration.Cross References:IEC 62766-5-1:2017IEC 62766-7:2017IEC 62766-3:2016IEC 62766-2-1:2016IEC 62766-2-2:2016IEC 62766-4-1:2017IEC 62766-4-2:2017All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
