STANDARD AM0 AND

AM1.5 SPECTRA

Table A.1 is an abbreviated version of that provided online by the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, 2004), which is from Standard ASTM G173-
02 (ASTM, 2003). This abbreviated version of the standard spectral distribution is for
information only. Since this version is only a sample of the more extensive complete
table, using the abbreviated version in the applications for which the standard was
developed will not produce the same technical results as would use of the complete
table published in the standard.

Permission to reproduce this abbreviated version of the standard has been granted by
ASTM.
The ASTM standard spectral distributions are computed using the SMARTS spectral
model of Gueymard (1995, 2001).
