The standard defines methods for determining the current-voltage characteristics (I-V curves) of Photovoltaic (PV) devices under actual or simulated sunlight. These steps can be used with a single solar cell, a group of solar cells, or a PV module. With reference to (often but not only) the global reference spectral irradiance AM1.5 described in IEC 60904-3, this standard is relevant to non-concentrating PV devices for usage in terrestrial situations.
