As part of the international PV research project HESTPV, Fluxim AG used this P+D project to develop and build a scalable extension of the PAIOS measurement platform for load tests on numerous solar cells and demonstrated the achievable knowledge gain with first measurement series. With this approach, the existing, extremely versatile PAIOS measuring system for DC, AC and transient experiments is combined with statistically relevant stability tests on many solar cells, and value compared to conventional test methods is added. This scalable extension was realized as independent measurement instrument named LITOS, it however can be controlled and data analysed with the same characterization suite (CS) software.
In the HESTPV project framework vacuum-processed perovskite solar cells from the University of Valencia, Spain, were investigated with Fluxim’s measurement hardware and simulation software and corresponding scientific results were published.
