Characterizing the I-V Curve of Solar Cells and Modules

Application Notes

Explosive growth in the solar industry has intensiied the need for test and measurement solutions that can quickly and accurately capture the I-V curve characteristics of solar cells and modules. Because solar technology is being used in residential, commercial and military applications, solar cells and modules are developed in a wide range of power levels and with various conversion eficiencies. Also, the different testing stages — research, quality assurance and production — have different needs for measurement speed, measurement accuracy and the range of device characteristics that must be captured. Because of these variables, it is important to familiarize yourself with the test and measurement tools available for solar test and to understand their strengths and limitations. This measurement brief explores the various test and measurement tools you can use for I-V curve characterization and provides tips to help you choose the instrument or instruments that best it your solar cell or module measurement needs.
