Definition
1. A standard for testing and sorting of photovoltaik modules focused on the temperature and irradiation data, given by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). By using this standard a comparison of the modules will be more accurately. These test conditions are: Air Mass 1.5g,Ambient temperature 20°C and irradiation of 800 W/m².
2. Normal Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT) is a measurement referring to the operational conditions of solar cells, defined as the temperature reached by open circuited cells in a module.
Test conditions are defined as 800W/ m² irradiance, 20°C ambient temperature and wind speed of 1m/ s.
