This is the first report on measurements and analysis of solar spectrum at such a wide range of altitudes, and we find that the spectral distribution at 35 km is almost equivalent to that of AM0, which supplies a suitable AM0 Standard solar cell calibration strategy with high altitude balloon flights.
To address these practical needs of solar spectral measurements in near space, we use a high-altitude balloon to send a spectral measurement system to near space, reaching an altitude of 35 km. The balloon was launched in September 2021, the launch site is in Da Qaidam, Qinghai.
After normalization, we find that the values are differs greatly in 350 nm–400 nm and 500 nm–600 nm bands when the height is over 20 km. With the elevation rising, the distribution of collected experiment solar spectral and AM0 standard solar spectral tend to be consistent, which means that AM0 standard solar cell calibration is suitable.
However, their real performance in space environments is not yet clear. To assess crucial performance parameters, solar cells need to be calibrated under the standard space spectral irradiance before deployment in space. This is known as AM0 calibration. This review article focuses on the calibration techniques and methods for space solar cells.
Comparing the experiment data of solar spectrum at different altitudes and AM0 standard solar spectral. After normalization, we find that the values are differs greatly in 350 nm–400 nm and 500 nm–600 nm bands when the height is over 20 km.
The study of solar cell calibration technology is an important tool for space solar cell measurements. It is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the operating characteristics of solar cells used in space and near space.
