Long pulse width solar panel IV tester
The Long pulse width solar panel IV tester utilizes millisecond to second-level long-pulse light sources to simulate continuous solar irradiation. It overcomes the capacitive and thermal effect errors inherent in traditional flash testers caused by excessively short pulses. This specialized equipment is designed for precisely measuring the complete current-voltage characteristic curve (IV curve) of photovoltaic modules (especially large-sized, bifacial, tandem, and other high-capacitance modules) under conditions close to actual power generation operation. It accurately calculates key performance parameters such as maximum power point (MPP), fill factor (FF), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and short-circuit current (Isc).
Product Features
Long Pulse Light Source Simulates Real Conditions: Employs a 100ms long-pulse light source to effectively simulate continuous solar irradiation. Overcomes errors caused by capacitive and thermal effects in traditional flash testers due to short pulses, creating a test environment closer to the actual outdoor power generation state of modules.
High-Precision Measurement of Key Parameters: Precisely measures the complete current-voltage characteristic curve (IV curve) of PV modules under near-real conditions. Accurately calculates core performance parameters including open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), maximum power point (Pmax / MPP), fill factor (FF), and conversion efficiency, significantly enhancing data reliability.
Wide Applicability for Various New Module Types: Particularly suitable for testing large-sized, high-capacitance modules (such as double-glass, bifacial, tandem/perovskite, HJT, TOPCon, and other new high-efficiency modules), as well as modules with significant thermal capacitance effects. Solves the problems of inaccurate or ineffective measurement with traditional flash methods on these modules.
Integrated Temperature Monitoring & High-Efficiency Automation: Equipped with high-precision temperature sensors for real-time monitoring of module temperature. Temperature is used as a key variable for data calibration (typically to Standard Test Conditions - STC), ensuring result comparability. The device typically integrates automated robotic handlers and software control systems to achieve efficient, stable assembly line testing, enhancing production inspection efficiency.
