Measuring conditions for PV-Modules
Electrical Data under laboratory conditions
Outdoor (Standard Test Conditions STC):
• Max. Power in Wp at 1000 W/m²
• Sunlight Spectrum AM 1.5
• 25 °C cell Temperature
*) 1 mW/cm2 1,250 LUX or
1,000 W/m² 125,000 LUX
Indoor (Manufacture Specific):
• Max. Power in mW or µW at 200 LUX
• Usually fluorescence light
• Room temperature
Conclusions:
• Efficiency is not the only quality feature
• More important is energy yield under realistic conditions
• Outdoor to Indoor factor x 500-1,000 higher

ASI® Outdoor Construction
Cell construction for Outdoor
„Double stacked cell PIN-PIN“
Covers a broader range of sunlight spectrum
More Energy per Wp than with crystalline solar cells
at bad illumination conditions
More stable performance – also after years
CONFIDENTIAL
Autharchic Power Supply with PV
ASI® Electrical Data Outdoor
Voltage very close window in different light density
Voltage comes up in low light which is better than C-Si
in weak light
Current proportional to light density, can be also used
as light sensor

Economical drivers for PV-Systems
Qualify before Product Design is fixed!
PV quality:
•
•
•
•
•
Cell quality (efficiency, energy yield under realistic working conditions, power stability)
Module series connection (electrical shunts, accuracy, tolerances)
Packaging (materials, connections, UV resistance, temperature, long term stability)
Module design flexibility
Tolerance fluctuation between “handmade” and automated manufactured modules
Commercial quality:
•
•
•
Availability in small and mass volumes
Costs per piece or Wp
Integration costs (additional or auxiliary materials, process costs)
Design recommendation:
•
•
•
Balance power and module size
Design appropriate shape (quad-angular)
PV modules can be hidden (i.e. semi- or transparent casing, color print)
