A successful M9 meeting for the SOLiD-PV project was held online by project partner NPL in February. James Blakesley coordinator of the project welcomed all to the meeting. This was followed by presentations on work progressed under WP1 (Reference device specification calibration and characterisation) by Geiland Porrovecchio (CMI) with contributions from Karsten Bothe (ISFH) and Ingo Kröger (PTB).

Presentations on work progressed under WP2 (Optimising system performance monitoring) was provided by Heine Nygard Riise (IFE), Mariella Josefina Rivera Aguilar (FhG), Elin Dypvik Sødahl (IFE) and Lavanya Malarkannan (NPL).

For WP3 (Quantifying degradation in PV systems) progress was presented to the consortium by Javier Diaz Berrade (CENER) with contributions from Bernhard Kubicek (AIT).

Presentations on work progressed under WP4 (Reference PV systems) was provided by Stefan Riechelmann (PTB).

George Koutsourakis (NPL) presented on the work progressed under WP5 (Creating impact) and Garry Hensey (NPL) presented on WP6 (Management and coordination)

During the work package presentations and discussions, there was further discussion with the consortium regarding the output of the project and future progress towards M18.

Karsten Bothe, Sebastian Denke and David Hinken of project partner ISFH along with colleagues from the Institute for Solid State Physics, recently presented at the 42nd European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference that was held in Bilbao, Spain.

You can find a copy of their presentation Method for the determination of spectral responsivity of digital solar irradiance sensors here on our website. The project and the European Partnership on Metrology were both acknowledged within the presentation.
