PL-IPCE solar cell testing system

Product classification:Solar cell test system brand:perfectlight view count:657

System features: the use of modulated light instead of DC light can reduce stray light, noise that are harmful to the measurement accuracy; The cone cavity type pyroelectric detector instead of thermopile detector as a reference detector, with a phase-locked measuring instrument instead of DC measuring instrument combined with temperature control can improve the sensitivity of the measurement system and the flatness of the spectral responsiveness; The stray light could be greatly reduced by dual monochromator instead of monochromator, and increase the absolute target of the spectral responsiveness at the same time. The system is of flexible deformation according to the customer needs. The system is suitable for IPCE test of solar cell, spectral response analysis of photoelectric device and other experiments.

Introduction for solar cell quantum efficiency QE/ IPCE:


QE (Quantum efficiency) and IPCE (Incident Photon to Charge Carrier Efficiency) represent the ratio of the number of photons incident on the surface of the solar cell to the number of charge carriers generated by the solar cell. QE (Quantum efficiency) is a measure of the external efficiency for solar cells. IPCE (Incident Photon to Charge Carrier Efficiency) is a test of the internal efficiency for solar cells, that is, photons reflect on the solar cell surface are out of consideration.

QE/IPCE measurement is vital in solar cell materials research and solar cell design, as it is extremely important to have best spectral response at the solar spectrum with strong spectral distribution. QE/IPCE test equipment is based on light source and spectroscopy frontier technology, so it is reasonable to trust its professional test accuracy.

Determination of the irradiance intensity of the monochromatic light and the photogenerated current density by the solar cell is the key factor to the accurate measurement of QE/IPCE. QE/IPCE of the solar cell could be quickly completed with the key QE/IPCE testing components provided by Perfectlight.

System introduction:

This system is used to measure the spectral response of solar cells (A/W). The spectral responsivity is obtained by comparing short-circuit current values of the measured silicon detector (such as solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, Photodiodes, etc.) and the standard silicon detector under the same monochromatic light illumination. The spectral response data of the standard silicon detector are provided by the China Metrology Institute.

This system can realize the adjustment of monochromator slit, wavelength, lock-in amplifier (or weak current meter) gear, time constant, data measurement, data curve real-time display, data processing. Detailed function can be customized according to the special needs of users, 3 years free software upgrades maintenance).

This system is suitable for measurement at 300~1100 nm wavelength range, measurement uncertainty <5% (k = 2) (400-1100) nm
