===== WaveLabs Solar simulator ===== Some notes to not forget them. * Optimal distance to light source is 1,05m * Chuck (black mesuring device) is to bealigned centered, pro tip: mark the position * Software to control chuck temperature (not yet installed) from Oven Industrial COntrols * Turn on vaccum by turnign all three levers * copper plate can be cleaned from oxidization by steel wool * fill factor is the area under the MPP in realtion to the maximum possible defined by Isc and Voc. 80-82% is good. Bad FF can be because of bad contacts. * Light intensity changes Isc. * Temperature influences Voc (2 mV/K) * Gap filler could be used for glass covered solar cells (mini module) * Two profiles as templates (Std. cell & Mini Module) * AM0 is the outer space spectrum * SunsVOC Intesity sweep, how good could the cell be? * cameras are from Basler * contact pins from company Ingun Abbreviations: * Isc - short circuit current * Voc - open circuit voltage (woltage without current) * MPP - maximum power point (a small blue cross in the graph) * ETA - efficiency * FF - Fill factor Ideas for "physics" experiment: * Heating with hot air gun * IR to test quantum efficiency? * dark measurement, Idealitätsfaktor, 2-Dioden-Modell
