Abstract. Monocrystalline silicon solar cell of the construction n+pp++ Passivated Emitter Solar Cell (PESC) was irradiated by 60Co gamma ray dose. Thermoluminscence (TL) main dosimetry peak was investigated. The results showed that it is possible to determine gamma dose more accurate from TL main dosimetry peak for Monocrystalline silicon solar cell in comparison with TLD (100). Also the various sources of uncertainty were analyzed. The expanded uncertainty at 95% confidence level should be added to the value of measurements to obtain accurate dose.
Key words: Thermoluminscence, solar cells, dosimetry, uncertainty.
