This year’s ISCR meeting was held in Sicily from June 12-16, 2017. For the 7th consecutive year, the JRC Directorate C “ESTI” organized the International SpectroRadiometer Comparison (ISRC). It was hosted on the premises of ENEL Green Power in Catania (CT), Italy. During the event, ENEL Green Power organized workshops and thematic meetings for researchers and start-up companies to enhance the knowledge transfer.
The main goal of ISRC is the harmonization of good practices in measurement and instruments traceable calibration procedures for solar spectra and irradiance measurements within the PV community. Recently, also for atmospheric physics and metrological institutions, especially in relation to the need for traceable spectral irradiance measurements. Not only spectro-radiometers of the various participants have been compared to the JRC reference, but also thermopile instruments (pyrheliometers and pyranometers).
