Spectroradiometer intercomparison

Campaign

(JRC, UCy, ENEA, RSE)

Since the CPV system effciency calculation relies on the correct measurement of the direct solar irradiation
and of its spectral distribution, under the APOLLON project a spectral radiometer intercomparison campaign was
implemented. Thanks to the dissemination activities that were implemented, this initiative drew interest from other
European Institutions not directly involved in the project. During the life time of the project, three intercomparison
campaigns were set up:

p 2011; ENEA, Portici (NA), I
Institutions: 8 (It & Cy); Participants: 12, 20 Instruments
p 2012: ENEL, Catania (CT), I
Institutions: 8 (It , Es, Jp); Participants: 15, 30 Instruments
p 2013: ISFOC, Puertollano (CR), Spain
Institutions : 15 (It , Es, Nl, De); N.22 Participants N.100 solar Instruments.
