6.2.3. Meaning of measurement results
The parameter measured and calculated by meter have the following meaning:
Parameter
Pmax
DPmax
FF
Voc
Vmpp
Isc
Impp
Where:
P

FF = 100 x [(Vmpp x Impp ) / (Voc x Isc)] = Fill Factor represents a kind of "efficiency" of
module/string as it is a ratio between the maximum power measured and the open power
The meter gives the following final response:
Response
OK
The previous relation (1) is not verified but the following is valid:
OK*
The relations (1) and (2) are not verified but the following is valid:
NO OK*
NO OK
where:
(-)
(-)
(%)*Pnom Negative tolerance in absolute value, declared by manufacturer
Tol
= Tol
(+)
(+)
(%)*Pnom Positive tolerance in absolute value, declared by manufacturer
Tol
= Tol
Meas
= Pmax – Pnom DPmax which defines the difference between measured values
and declared values
Meter
Absolute error of the measurement chain (meter + transducers in the point of
measure) considering the error % and the declared dgt
(1) OK Positive response of test also considering the error of measurement chain
(2) OK* Response of test positive less than the error of measurement chain
(3) NO OK* Response of test negative less than the error of measurement chain
(4) NO OK Negative response of test also considering the error of measurement chain
Maximum power of module measured by the meter
Difference % of maximum measured power from nominal power (@ STC)
Voltage on point of maximum power
Current on point of maximum power
