The Ossila Manual Solar Cell Testing Kit is a complete setup for characterizing photovoltaic devices. It combines a calibrated LED solar simulator, a dual-output source measure unit (SMU), a test board and the Ossila Reference Solar Cell, so researchers can record I-V curves and key performance metrics on one bench.
The steady-state LED simulator delivers 1000 W/m2 (1 Sun) at an 8.5 cm working distance and reaches AAA classification over a 15 mm area. Each LED can be adjusted individually across 350 nm – 1000 nm, allowing the spectrum to be tailored, including for indoor photovoltaic testing. The lamp is rated for up to 10000 hours of use. The reference photodiode lets users follow the simulator irradiance and confirm that output stays consistent.
The SMU sources and measures voltage across ±10 V, with five current ranges down to ±20 µA. The Solar Cell I-V software provides characterization, stabilized current output, lifetime measurement and maximum power point tracking, while the simulator console controls overall or per-LED power. The simulator and SMU can also be used separately.
- Measuring I-V curves of solar cells to obtain metrics such as PCE, FF, Jsc and Voc.
- Running lifetime and degradation studies with periodic I-V characterization.
- Tracking the maximum power point of a device over time.
- Measuring device hysteresis through consecutive forward and backward sweeps.
- Light soaking to precondition cells before testing.
- Testing indoor photovoltaics using a tuned LED spectrum.
