Study on the calibration of photovoltaic solar irradiance meter

Authors:

Abstract
Photovoltaic solar irradiance meter is defined as a photoelectric type of meter with a detector of solar cell. This paper focuses the calibration of photovoltaic solar irradiance meter in reference to the latest domestic and international standard. The whole theory is based on current methods and techniques of the calibration of pyranometer and irradiance meter. As a result, with principle and characteristic taken into consideration, the dissemination system of photoelectric type solar irradiance meter is established to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the value utilization of solar energy industry. The uncertainty of the measurement is also evaluated while the measurement results are obtained through experiments.
