AB The spectral distribution of the solar irradiance incident on photovoltaic (PV) modules is akey variable controlling their power production. It is required to properly simulate the productionand performance of PV plants based on technologies with different spectral characteristics. Spectroradiometerscan only sense the solar spectrum within a wavelength range that is usually too shortcompared to the actual spectral response of some PV technologies. In this work, a new methodologybased on the Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine (SMARTS) spectralcode is proposed to extend the spectral range of measured direct irradiance spectra and to increase thespectral resolution of such experimental measurements. Satisfactory results were obtained for bothclear and hazy sky conditions at a radiometric station in southern Spain. This approach constitutesthe starting point of a general methodology to obtain the instantaneous spectral irradiance incidenton the plane of array of PV modules and its temporal variations, while evaluating the magnitude andvariability of the abundance of atmospheric constituents with the most impact on surface irradiance,most particularly aerosols and water vapor.
