9.1.1 Solar Cell Characterisation
The Solar Cell Characterisation tab performs current-voltage (I-V) measurement and analysis of solar cells.
The analysis calculates the following properties:
• Power conversion efficiency (PCE)
• Fill factor (FF)
• Short-circuit current density ( J
• Open-circuit voltage (V
• Shunt resistance (R
• Series resistance (R
9.1.2 Solar Lifetime Measurement
The Solar Lifetime Measurement tab tracks PCE, FF, J
measurements and analysis. Between I-V measurements, the solar cell can be held at short-circuit, open-
circuit, or maximum power.
