No full textStandard IV characterization of solar cells and modules is typically performed with Xe-, W- and/or metalhalide-based systems. These are either built around a flash or a steady-state illumination. However, there is a growing trend towards LED-based systems, which allows both flash and steady-state white-light illumination, as well as spectrally-tuned irradiance, broadening the scope of measurements from IV to also include spectral dependencies [1]. In this paper we introduce an advanced LED-based setup for modules and investigate its potential for spectrally-tuned measurements as a function of temperature. While the impact of temperature in measured currents and resulting extraction of accurate EQE requires further fine-tuning of the equipment, some applications with comparative measurements are elaborated to demonstrate the approach and capabilities at its current stage.The work in this paper was partially funded by the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences under project number P115-15EE-01, by the Flemish government within the projects SolsThore, LenoPV and ICONTWILL-BIPV, and by the partners in the imec SiPV industrial affiliation programme. Additionally, we also want to acknowledge Geert, Luc and Reinoud from our technical team for their support in the installation, maintenance and improvement of the new facilities and equipment with all its challenges, that is instrumental for obtaining these results and further progress in our research. Finally, we also want to acknowledge Soltech for the supply of printed glass.Govaerts, J (corresponding author), IMEC, EnergyVille, Thorpk 8320, B-3600 Genk, Belgium.
