PhotoVoltaic Calibration Lab

We are proud to house and manage one of the few commercial photovoltaic and calibration test laboratories in the world. The FYTRONIX Photovoltaic Calibration and Test Laboratory is accredited by NAC to the ISO/IEC 17025 Standard, using state of the art equipment for measurements in accordance with ASTM E948 and E1021. The lab welcomes requests for prototype PV device performance measurements or PV reference cell calibrations. Flexible scheduling and rapid turnaround time ensure minimal downtime to time sensitive devices. LSS solar simulator generates a continuous light spectrum corresponding to a class AAA spectrum. This system is designed to illuminate any type of solar cell up to 25 x 25 mm or more. LSS solar simulator generates a continuous light spectrum whose intensity varies from 1 W/m2 to 1000 W/m2.  The simulator and I-V measurement system are controlled by the computer. 

Common Measurements made in I/V Characterization of photovoltaic devices

Dark I/V measurements are commonly used to analyze the electrical characteristics of solar cells. Dark I/V measurements are more sensitive than light I/V measurements in determining parameters such as series resistance, shunt resistance, diode factor, and diode saturation currents. 

Solar simulator automatically determine the photovoltaic parameters as follows

Open circuit voltage (Voc)

Short Circuit current (Isc)

Fill factor (FF)

Voltage at Pmax (Vmax)

Current at Pmax (Imax) 

Maximum power output (Pmax)

Shunt resistance (Rsh) •

Series resistance (Rs) •

Characteristic  resistance of solar cell (Rch) •

Solar cell efficiency (n)

Solar simulator automatically determine the photovoltaic mechanism like monomolecular recombination mechanism, supra linear mechanism and etc.
