Method And Apparatus For Determining Spectral Response And Spectral Response Mismatch Between Photovoltaic Devices

View page
US Patent:
44674384, Aug 21, 1984
Filed:
Jan 18, 1982
Appl. No.:
6/340038
Inventors:
Gene A. Zerlaut - Phoenix AZ
Richard D. Whitaker - Phoenix AZ
Arthur W. Purnell - New River AZ
Assignee:
DSET Laboratories, Inc. - Phoenix AZ
International Classification:
G06F 1520
US Classification:
364525
Abstract:
An apparatus including a white light and first, second, and third filters through which the white light is transmitted is utilized to sequentially irradiate a solar cell. The light impinging upon the solar cell from the first, second, and third filters has first, second, and third "tristimulus" distributions. The resulting first, second, and third electrical output quantities produced by the solar cell are measured and utilized to compute normalized spectral response coefficients by normalizing each of the electrical output quantities with respect to the sum of the three. First, second, and third response differences are obtained by subtracting the first, second, and third response coefficients from first, second and third response coefficients previously obtained from a reference solar cell. A spectral response mismatch coefficient equal to the square root of the squares of the three response differences is computed and utilized as a measure of the spectral response mismatch between the solar cell and the reference solar cell. On the basis of such computed spectral response mismatch coefficients, solar cells are grouped in ranges that are sufficiently closely matched to be optimally interconnected in individual solar modules.

Solar Simulator And Method

View page
US Patent:
44234694, Dec 27, 1983
Filed:
Jul 21, 1981
Appl. No.:
6/285493
Inventors:
Gene A. Zerlaut - Phoenix AZ
William T. Dokos - Phoenix AZ
William J. Putman - Phoenix AZ
Russell K. Skousen - Chandler AZ
Assignee:
DSET Laboratories, Inc. - Phoenix AZ
International Classification:
F21V 902
US Classification:
362 2
Abstract:
A solar simulator includes a lamp array of solar lamps pivotally connected to an array frame. The array frame is rotatably and pivotally mounted on a gantry crane, the elevation and lateral position of which are adjustable relative to the position of a solar collector to be tested. The solar simulator maintains the plane of the lamp array parallel to the plane of the test device for all elevations, lateral positions and rotational positions of the lamp array, and controls tilting of the lamps relative to the array frame to any desired angle of incidence. The solar simulator is operated to control the angle of incidence of radiation received by the solar collector to be tested and to vary the distance from the array of lamps to the solar collector in such a manner that the intensity of received radiation along the surface of the test device is uniform, thereby avoiding undesirable lateral gradients in temperature along the surface of the test device. The solar simulator allows accurate simulation of a solar day without reducing the power to solar lamps, to avoid undesirable variation in the spectrum of radiation produced by the solar simulator. A test stand holding the solar collector includes a movable horizontal bar supporting a plurality of uniformly spaced radiation intensity sensors.

Solar Tracking Device

View page
US Patent:
40313859, Jun 21, 1977
Filed:
Apr 5, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/673484
Inventors:
Gene A. Zerlaut - Phoenix AZ
Robert F. Heiskell - Glendale AZ
Assignee:
Desert Sunshine Exposure Tests, Inc. - Phoenix AZ
International Classification:
G01J 120
US Classification:
250203R
Abstract:
A solar tracking system is disclosed, utilizing a photovoltaic device, for following the changing solar position. When the sun ceases to be the brightest object in the sky, such as during periods of partial cloud cover, and the system seeks to acquire the brightest spot in preference to the sun, the photovoltaic device is automatically overridden. The override system is clock-driven and moves the tracking system to approximate the solar position so that the sun can be immediately reacquired by the photovoltaic device when the sun re-energizes as the brightest object in the sky.
