Summary:

The CPV community has agreed to have both indoor and outdoor module power ratings. The indoor rating provides a repeatable measurement off the factory line while the outdoor rating provides a measure of true on-sun performance. The challenge with an outdoor rating is that conditions that impact the measurement such as the spectrum, temperature, wind speed, etc are constantly in flux. This work examines methodologies for determining the outdoor power rating with the goal of minimizing variation even if data are collected under changing meteorological conditions.
