Abstract
A method of measuring a current-voltage (IV) characteristic for a photovoltaic (PV) device is described. The method includes providing a PV module for measuring an IV characteristic; exposing the PV module to a solar electromagnetic (EM) spectrum; and acquiring an IV data point on the IV characteristic. The acquisition of an IV data point includes measuring plural IV segments by repetitively applying and sweeping a voltage across the PV module from a unique initial voltage to a target voltage within a time scale for exposing said PV module to the solar EM spectrum, and interpreting a measured current at the target voltage as the IV data point on the IV characteristic if the plural IV segments converge at the target voltage.
