The Chroma I-V Characterization soft panel provides users with valuable information about their photovoltaic cells or panels. The application can generate I-V curves and report key elements such as Isc, Voc, Pmp, Vmp, Imp, Fill Factor, Efficiency, Rs, and Rsh. Tab delimited text reports for both summary and I-V data points are made available and can be used by other applications for post-processing. Various hardware and software configuration options allow users to adapt and customize the soft panel to best fit their PV cell/panel. This soft panel makes use of the internal measurement and current range capabilities of Chroma’s 63600 series DC Loads, ensuring fast and accurate PV characterizing.
