How it works

The Newport 91159 has software that allows the user to measure the output of the simulator as a function of wavelength and compare that output to the solar spectrum. The Newport 91159 can also measure solar cell outputs and automatically calculate performance factors including short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor.[1]

Applications

The Newport 91159 can be used to compare simulator output to the solar spectrum. The Newport 91159 can be used to measure solar cell outputs and calculate short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor.[1]

  • Measuring output of the simulator as a function of wavelength and comparing it to the solar spectrum
  • Measuring solar cell outputs
  • Automatically calculating solar cell performance factors such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor
