Application Notes
The strong demand for alternatives to fossil fuel based energy sources and growing environmental concerns have increased interest in solar cells as a long-term, exhaustless, environmentally friendly and reliable energy technology. Continuous efforts to develop various types of solar cells are being made in order to produce solar cells with improved efficiencies at a lower cost, thereby taking advantage of the vast amounts of free energy available from the sun.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer is a well-known tool for evaluating the characteristics of semiconductor devices.
However,
it can also be a very effective tool for solar cell characterization since most solar cell measurements are the same as those for semiconductor devices, such as current versus voltage (IV) and capacitance versus voltage (CV) measurements. This application note shows how the B1500A can be used to evaluate a variety of solar cell types, from conventional devices based on silicon to state-of-theart devices using more exotic materials.
