ALT A throwback to Solarplaza Summit Asset Management Europe 2025 in Prague. Thank you to everyone who passed by our booth. The Hukseflux team (pictured here) was energised by the focus on data-driven optimisation and the insightful conversations we had with so many industry professionals. A special note of appreciation to all who attended the onstage presentation by our Director, Kees VAN DEN BOS: "Improving accuracy of PV performance measurement: Monitoring of weather conditions and PV cell temperature according to the latest IEC 61724 standards." We were thrilled by the packed room and the excellent questions asked by the public! 👉 If you missed Kees’s presentation or would like to discuss implementing the latest IEC 61724 standards, please comment on this post to connect with us directly. We can share the presentation with you. Last but not least, a big thank you to the Solarplaza team for making this event possible. We hope to see you again next time!

ALT PV reference cells are used for utility scale PV system performance monitoring. But are they as good as pyranometers? We think not, here is why: 1. PV reference cells have no defined measurand, data is not bankable. 2. Measurements with PV reference cells have no connection to performance models. 3. Data measured with commonly used PV reference cells is not supported by accredited calibration, not bankable and not internationally recognised. 4. Use of PV reference cells complicates O & M and makes it more costly than necessary. 5. The temperature correction of PV reference cells is not standardised. 6. For common modules with an AR coating, a PV reference cell without a coating is not a “reference”.
