Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to processing of solar cells, and, more particularly to methods and systems for measuring electrical power of atleast a photovoltaic device in a cost effective, secure, environmentally safe, and efficient manner.
  • sun simulators also called 'flashers'
  • Sun simulators are artificial light sources capable of simulating the sunlight as closely as possible.
  • they apply a voltage or current to the photovoltaic device (also referred to as device under test or OUT').
  • the photovoltaic device may include a solar cell, a string, a matrix or modules of any type.
  • the spectrum used depends on the way the photovoltaic device is tested, for example, normally a spectrum used for testing terrestrial application is AM 1.5 and for space applications is AM0.
  • the duration of illumination is an important parameter because accurate measurement of these devices may require from one tenth of a second to several seconds.
  • the photovoltaic device is illuminated for some milliseconds to some tens of milliseconds. In both cases this period is the time needed to sweep thru a number of measurement points, for example, the voltage applied is varied from 0.0 to 0.6V and the current is measured. This sweep is done in a continuous way.
  • the normal approach to overcome the problem that the output power needs to stabilize is to increase the illumination duration or power or both. Since the life time of the light sources used, such as xenon lamps, is limited by the time they are turned on, longer illumination times reduces the number of photovoltaic devices that can be tested. Also higher output powers reduce life time of the photovoltaic devices because of the greater heat developed. Therefore it becomes difficult to provide light sources with long illumination times having long life times, making cost of ownership for the sun simulator higher.
  • Usual light sources include xenon short-arc lamps, other gas-discharge lamps, Metal-Halide lamps, sulphur lamps, LEDs lamps, and tungsten incandescent lamps.
  • the life of the light source is limited, for example, continuous-light systems with usual (e.g. Xenon) lamps have a life time of ca. 000 hours, therefore, a lot of maintenance is needed and the cost for spare parts is high.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved combination of convenience and utility, to include the advantages of the prior art, and to overcome the drawbacks inherent therein.
  • the inventive system of the present invention provides a longer live cycle and has lower energy consumption than the devices according to the state of the art. Moreover the cost of ownership is also reduced.
  • the present invention provides a system for measuring efficiency of atleast a photovoltaic device, comprises atleast a first illumination source capable of closely mimicking a sun spectrum during a first illumination, the first illumination source having atleast a power output defined by a test done, atleast a second illumination source adapted to emit light within a sensitivity range of the photovoltaic device to be tested during a second illumination, means for applying atleast one of a voltage and a current to the photovoltaic device to be tested, means for measuring atleast one of a current and a voltage respectively during the first illumination and the second illumination, and means for calibrating the measurement made with the second illumination source to the first illumination source.
  • the present invention provides a method for testing atleast a photovoltaic device.
  • the method comprises the steps of: applying atleast one of a first voltage and a first current to the photovoltaic device, conducting a first measurement of the photovoltaic device, applying atleast one of a second voltage and a second current to the photovoltaic device, conducting atleast a second measurement of the photovoltaic device, and using atleast a first illumination source that closely resembles a sun spectrum with atleast one of the first voltage and the first current to calibrate the second measurement. Normally atleast one of respectively the first voltage and the second voltage or the first current and the second current are identical to facilitate the calibration.
  • the first measurement of the photovoltaic device further comprises the step of illuminating the photovoltaic device with atleast a first illumination source.
  • the second measurement of the photovoltaic device further comprises the steps of: illuminating the photovoltaic device with atleast a second illumination source, applying atleast one of a first voltage, first current, a second voltage, and a second current during a second duration, and measuring atleast one of output currents and out put voltages of the photovoltaic device.
  • the present invention provides a method for measuring electrical power of atleast a photovoltaic device through a test.
  • the method comprises the steps of mimicking closely the spectrum of sun during a first illumination, emitting light within a sensitivity range of the photovoltaic device to be tested during a second illumination, applying one of a voltage and a current to the photovoltaic device to be tested, measuring one of a current and voltage respectively during the first illumination and the second illumination, and calibrating the measurement made with the second illumination source to the first illumination source.

  • I/V current versus voltage
  • These points may be formed into an I/V diagram from which a maximum power point (also referred to 'Mpp') is determined.
  • the Mpp is a point on the curve where current multiplied by the voltage gives the highest value.
  • the Mpp is a measure used for the efficiency of the photovoltaic device, so basically not all points on the I/V diagram are needed, only the Mpp.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary I/V curves for different illumination strengths.
  • the vertical line connects the Mpp of the curves. Determining the Mpp is a part of the efficiency measurement, i.e., the maximum converted power. Efficiency is the converted power produced by the photovoltaic device 30 divided by the optical power impinging on the photovoltaic device30.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a system 100 for measuring efficiency of atleast a photovoltaic device 30 through atleast a test, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • a first accurate testing (measurement) of the photovoltaic device 30 may be made with a first illumination source 10 that mimics the sun's spectrum very exactly. Then further measurements may be made with atleast a second illumination source 20 whose spectrum only has to fall within the sensitivity range of the photovoltaic device 30. The first exact measurement may be used to calibrate the measurements made with less accurate spectrum.
  • the illumination level of the lower quality 'Direct Current (also known as 'DC') light source' may be adjusted as to obtain the same short-circuit current as was measured with good spectral illumination conditions, for example, with a short pulse of a normal xenon lamp. This will mean that the same current as before is generated inside the solar cell junction, so it is now possible to sweep the I/V curve of the photovoltaic device 30 at any convenient, possibly very low speed, without shortening the life time of the (xenon) flashbulb.
  • Adjusting current under secondary (DC) illumination by adjusting radiated power is equivalent to compensate for spectral mismatch and light intensity for this particular illumination.
  • the 'DC light source' may be a true DC light source that is turned on all the time or simply a light source suitable for longer light flashes.
  • the first, reference illumination has to be as exact as possible in terms of spectral content, intensity (as shown in FIG. 1 : Mpp moves with intensity) and uniformity.
  • spectral content is usually obtained by careful control of current inside the flashtube, i.e., by using of highly accurate current source), plus adding convenient spectral filters in the light path.
  • the capacitance of the solar cells is positively correlated to the applied voltage.
  • the capacitance is relatively low when the solar cell is short circuited (i.e., the solar cell with zero volts applied) and increases with the voltage applied.
  • the capacitance may increase by a factor of 10 or even more when the voltage increases to the maximum power point (herein after referred to as 'Mpp'). Therefore measuring around Isc is faster than around Mpp or Open collector voltage (herein after referred to as 'Voc').
  • the poles of the solar cell are not connected so that no current can flow, the duration of the flash for the accurate measurement may be further reduced.
  • the one of the advantages of the present invention is that the inventive system has a longer live cycle and has lower energy consumption. Moreover the cost of ownership is also reduced.
  • the practical disposition of thousands of different LEDs will conduct to a large light source not suitable for accurate measurements since the optics to project all the light in a controlled manner onto the photovoltaic device 30 becomes very difficult.
  • the LEDs do not have to mimic the spectrum of sun light and therefore less LEDs may be used, i.e., only the LEDs emitting at a certain wave length such that the light from all LEDs may together form the spectrum of sun light, are needed and the LEDs that would have been necessary to form the sun light spectrum outside that range may not be used.
