Test all types & sizes of PV cells
The high-precision MP-180 I-V tracer is the ultimate research instrument for photovoltaic cell development and quality inspection purposes.
The wide input range (µA - A) of the MP-180 I-V Tracer makes it a unique all-around measurement device suitable to test all types and sizes of Photovoltaic cells.
When combined with a Pulsed or Continuous Sun Simulator, I-V curve measurements can be fully automated using the built-in trigger function to synchronise with the flash or the sun simulator shutter control. The MP-180 is operated via a PC with software functions for visualising data, data management and calculating specific cell parameters, e.g. Rs, Rsh and other characteristic values.
Connecting with the optional switching units allows for the configuration of various measurement systems using multiple PV cells, pyranometer, thermocouple, and platinum resistance temperature sensor.
- Wide current range 10µA to 16A
- Large voltage range 10mV to 20V
- Switch function to control sun simulator light shutter
