Measures illuminated and dark I-V curves of solar cells and derives efficiency, fill factor and resistance values.

The SolarIV series is a complete current–voltage (I-V) test system for photovoltaic devices, combining a Class A AM1.5G solar simulator, a high-precision source meter, a calibrated monocrystalline silicon reference cell and I-V measurement software. From the measured curve it derives short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, fill factor, conversion efficiency and series/shunt resistance for PV research and quality inspection. Two versions cover 40 × 40 mm and 60 × 60 mm irradiation areas.

Key Features

  • Illuminated and dark-field I-V curve measurement with complete data processing and graphical display
  • Calculates Isc, Jsc, Voc, Pmax, Imp, Vmp, fill factor, conversion efficiency, series and parallel resistance
  • Forward and reverse scanning with adjustable scan speed, dark-current subtraction and automatic cycle scanning
  • Irradiance correction using the supplied QE-B1 calibrated monocrystalline silicon reference cell
  • Solar simulator compliant with IEC 60904-9: Class A spectral match, non-uniformity and instability
  • IV-2400 source meter as standard, IV-2450 optional; dedicated probes and vacuum adsorption table for sample fixing
  • Irradiation direction can be changed to suit the test arrangement

Typical Applications

  • Solar cell efficiency and I-V characterization
  • Photovoltaic device research and development
  • Quality inspection of solar cells
  • Dark-current I-V analysis
