A measurement platform for photovoltaic performance analysis in environments with ultra-low energy harvesting potential

Components required for such platform capable of replicating and measuring different indoor environment effects are proposed. In addition to an automated plan for measurement, signaling outline, data acquisition and storage are presented. Distance alteration (50-150 cm), dimming (1-100%), filtering and manipulation of incident angle (0-180°) are analyzed as light intensity modification methods, with the effect of each one on the light spectrum. Finally, some measurement results are given proceeded in the built platform.
