Zusammenfassung The spectral responsivity sλ,STC(λ) of solar cells is widely used for cell analysis or calibration purposes. According to the IEC60904-8:2014 standard, the reference method for the determination of sλ,STC(λ)  is the complete differential spectral responsivity approach. For this approach, the differential spectral responsivity s˜(λ) is measured as a function of wavelength and bias irradiance. To obtain the spectral responsivity sλ,STC(λ) related to standard test conditions the IEC60904-8:2014 standard recommends to integrate 1/s˜(λ) via bias current Ib for each wavelength. We show that this integration is wrong. It lacks analytical derivation and provides faulty curves for non-linear solar cells. We prove analytically and by means of simulations that the correct way of calculation is either the integration of s˜(λ) via the bias irradiance Eb or the integration of s˜(λ)/s˜AMx via the bias current Ib, with s˜AMx being the AMx-weighted (e.g. AM1.5G or AM1.5D) differential responsivity. A simulation of the differential spectral responsivity of a strongly non-linear solar cell demonstrates deviations of sλ,STC(λ) up to 30% for (the wrong) integration of 1/s˜(λ) via Ib at some wavelengths, corresponding to a deviation in the short-circuit current of up to 3.0%.
