BEX-8603 solar cell basic characteristics experiment apparatus
This experiment uses an iodine-tungsten lamp to simulate sunlight and illuminate a solar panel to generate electricity. An irradiance meter measures irradiance at different positions to characterize the illuminated output of three solar-cell samples and determine short-circuit current ISC, open-circuit voltage UOC, maximum output power Pmax, and fill factor FF. Fill factor is an important parameter for assessing solar-cell performance.

Applications
Measure solar-cell open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current at different illumination intensities; measure current-voltage characteristics under externally applied voltage in dark-field conditions; measure illuminated solar-cell output; investigate the inverse-square relationship between optical radiation and distance as an extension; measure current-voltage characteristics under externally applied voltage in complete darkness; measure open-circuit output voltage U_OC and short-circuit current I_SC at different illumination intensities.
Key Features
A building-block design lets students replace solar-cell samples themselves, developing experimental construction and hands-on skills. An included irradiance meter conveniently measures sunlight intensity. Three solar-cell modules—monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon—provide varied, clean, environmentally friendly experiments. Convenient acquisition interfaces: The experiment power supply has 3 analog acquisition interfaces for voltage sensors and PASCO acquisition software, enabling large-scale live data collection and analysis for convenient, fast, efficient experiments.
