OUTDOOR TEST PV FACILITIES

Two outdoor PV Labs mainly equipped with:

Four two-axis solar trackers, and tracking accuracy sensors, for CPV and PV technology

Atmospheric stations (fixed and portable) to measure all the components of the irradiance (global, diffuse and direct) and the main atmospheric parameters (humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, rain, etc.)

Spectroradiometers, component cells and a solar spectral irradiance meter to characterize the global and direct spectral irradiance and the physical properties of the atmosphere

PV modules and cells from different technologies and manufacturers (e.g. c-Si, CdTe, CIGS, multi-junction CPV, etc.)
