Abstract
The main objective of the national project ¿Espectro Solar¿ is the selection and installation of appropriate spectroradiometers to measure the solar spectrum at three different locations in Spain and to provide a reliable database of direct and global solar spectral data. Within this work, the preliminary results of the project focusing on long-term measurements of the solar spectrum in several Spanish locations are discussed. The measurements were obtained from devices which were installed in Seville with Abengoa Solar New Technologies (ASNT) and Concentrix Solar. In Puertollano, the solar spectrum measurement system by the Instituto de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos de Concentración (ISFOC) is presented. And finally one system is investigated by the Instituto de Energía Solar (IES) in Madrid. A set of guidelines that describe how to select suitable equipment for long-term outdoor measurements is introduced. The verification processes of the corresponding equipments, carried out by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA), are explained. Finally a considerable improvement of Concentrix Solar's FLATCON® module efficiency is reported, caused by the reduction of spectral losses.
