Photovoltaic measurement systems

QuickSun® solar simulator models 120CA, 540LA and 700A cover all the IV characterization needs from single cells ans sub-module laminates to final testing of even largest size modules. They are designed for characterization of both crystalline and thin film PV products.

QuickSun® 120CA Cell Solar Simulator is a versatile cell solar simulator for quality control and development applications. It evaluates the standard IV-characteristics during a single flash. With the Irradiance Decay Cell Analysis Method (IDCAM) option the system can measure and evaluate also the two diode equivalent circuit parameters giving unprecedented scientific information on the basic cell physics. Production model with TCP-interface available on request.

  • In order to comply with the Class AAA tolerances of the standard IEC 60904-09, ed. 2, proprietary optics has been developed for filtering the spectrum and improving irradiance non-uniformity. Since voltage, current and irradiance signals are recorded simultaneously, Short Term Instability (STI) is inherently 0% and in A class.
  • 800-Series simulators are routinely applied to measure standard mono/polycrystalline silicon, or a-Si, CdTe and CIS/CIGS PV modules. The measurement of thin film materials only requires filtering of the monitor cell in order to comply with the spectral response of the material to be measured.
  • All 800-Series simulators can be equipped, or later upgraded, with an Add-on flash generator and flash tube. This increases duration of IV recording and improves Long Term Instability (LTI) which is necessary when testing high capacitance PV materials.
