| Status: | inactive |
| ICS Code (Solar energy engineering): | 27.160 |
scope:
This part of IEC 904 applies to crystalline silicon devices only. It describes the preferred method for determining the equivalent cell temperature (ECT) of PV devices (cells, modules, and arrays of one type of module), for the purposes of comparing their thermal characteristics, determining NOCT (nominal operating cell temperature) and translating measured I-V characteristics to other temperatures.
