SOLAR CELL TESTER
The tester is assigned for terrestrial solar cell incoming/outcoming inspection with the purpose of optimizing parameters and preventing manufacture defects of solar modules.

 

 
Due to use of xenon pulse lump installed in the tester solar cells are not heated in process of inspection.The tester is IBM PC controlled with the possibility of selecting inspection duty: from simple check in a particular I-V curve point up to full I-V curve recording and statistical processing of measurement results.
