Abstract:
Solar cells and solar modules made of monocrystalline, polycrystalline and amorphous silicon on glass or plastic basis, GaAs, CdTe, CIS, organic, solar cells with concentrators, etc. are used in the world today to convert solar radiation into electricity. For the physical characterization of solar cells and solar modules, solar simulators with xenon, halogen and LED lamps are used as light sources. Determination of energy efficiency of solar cells and solar modules using solar simulators is performed under the following standard conditions: temperature of 25 oC, solar spectrum AM1.5 and solar radiation intensity of 1000 W /m 2. The paper will provide an overview of solar radiation simulators used today in the world to determine the energy efficiency of solar cells and solar modules obtained using various photovoltaic technologies, as well as the characteristics of the solar radiation simulators themselves.

Key words:
