As the precision frontier of large-area survey astrophysics advances towardsthe one millimagnitude level, flux calibration of astronomical instrumentationremains an ongoing challenge. We describe initial testing of silicon solarcells as large-aperture precise calibration photodiodes. We presentmeasurements of dark current, linearity, frequency response, spatial responseuniformity, and noise characteristics of the Sunpower C60 solar cells, aninterdigitated back-contact 125mm x 125mm monocrystalline solar cell. We findthat these devices hold considerable promise as large-area flux calibrationsensors and warrant further characterization.
