The three main elements to the standard test conditions are “cell temperature”, “irradiance”, and “air mass” since it is these three basic conditions which affect a PV panels power output once they are installed.
In the case of PV cells and solar panels, we needed to devise a set of test conditions all solar panels should be tested at. That’s why the world’s regulatory authority on electrical and electronic devices – the International Electrotechnical Commission or IEC – proposed the first set of test conditions in a 1993 outline.
