Keithley webinar to focus on PV measurements

A Keithley Instruments product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team May 13, 2009

Keithley Instruments is to broadcast a free web-based seminar, entitled 'Photovoltaic Measurements: Testing the Electrical Properties of Today's Solar Cells', on 27 May 2009.

The one-hour seminar, presented by Chris Armstrong, an associate marketer at Keithley, will provide an overview of the electrical measurements used in photovoltaic device development from basic research to early production testing.

In addition to the underlying theory of how solar cells work, the web-based seminar will focus on the physical measurements required to characterise them, as well as on cell properties that can be inferred from test results.

Topics will include capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characterisation, including DC and pulse techniques, as well as common measurements of a cell's efficiency.

The event will conclude with a text-based question-and-answer session.

Participants will learn about the measurements required to characterise photovoltaic devices, the types of device information electrical characterisation can provide, and special system considerations for test labs.
