The Ossila T3002B3 Manual Solar Cell Testing Kit brings together the hardware needed to characterize photovoltaic devices: a calibrated LED solar simulator, a dual-output source measure unit, a test board and the Ossila Reference Solar Cell. The simulator and source measure unit can be run on their own or as a combined system.
The steady-state LED solar simulator reaches AAA classification over a 15 mm area and delivers 1000 W/m2 (1 Sun) at an 8.5 cm working distance, with a maximum lamp time of 10000 hours. Each LED can be adjusted individually across 350 nm – 1000 nm, so the spectrum can be tailored to specific lighting conditions, including indoor photovoltaic testing. The reference photodiode lets users follow the simulator irradiance and confirm the output stays consistent.
The source measure unit sources voltage across ±10 V with resolution down to 170 µV and offers five current ranges from ±200 mA to ±20 µA. Five independent channels cover two SMU channels, two voltmeter channels and a shutter/trigger channel. With the Solar Cell I-V software, users can record I-V curves, check hysteresis, follow stabilized current output, run lifetime measurements and track the maximum power point.
- Measuring current-voltage curves to extract solar cell performance metrics such as PCE, FF, Jsc and Voc.
- Running lifetime and degradation studies through periodic I-V characterization.
- Tracking the maximum power point of a device over time.
- Assessing device hysteresis with forward and backward voltage sweeps.
- Light soaking to precondition solar cells before testing.
- Testing indoor photovoltaics by tuning the LED spectral output.
