Aiming to realize a carbon-neutral society, further expansion of solar power, one of the principal renewable energies, is urgently required. To achieve this, the development of novel photovoltaic (PV) devices for a variety of PV applications is expected to be introduced into the market. We aim at establishing globally consistent PV performance characterization techniques for such novel PV devices and disseminate the knowledge to the PV community world-wide.
