91150V In Stock

The 91150V by Newport is an Oriel Reference Solar Cell that is encased within a robust aluminum housing. This specialized solar cell plays a pivotal role in the calibration of solar simulators and the characterization of solar cell current-voltage (I-V) properties. The device encompasses a meticulously crafted 2 x 2 cm solar cell constructed from monocrystalline silicon, accompanied by a readout apparatus and an integrated thermocouple, all meticulously assembled following the guidelines of IEC 60904-2. The 91150V readout meter boasts an intuitive design, incorporating two BNC connectors to facilitate analog output for the sun irradiance and temperature.

The functionality of the 91150V is intricately tied to its calibrated solar cell's short-circuit current (ISC), which enables the precise measurement of solar simulator irradiance in "SUNS" units. This configuration empowers the testing of photovoltaic cells under standardized conditions, aligning with established industry norms. Notably, the primary application of this technology is in configuring solar simulators to achieve an irradiance level approximating 1.0000 SUNS, facilitating accurate testing of photovoltaic cells under conditions that adhere to standard reporting protocols. The 91150V can also be effectively employed to gauge solar irradiance originating from natural sunlight, adaptable to various angles and atmospheric circumstances. The device's portability is primarily contingent on the availability of an external power source, specifically an 8-15 VDC, 0.5A power supply that is compatible with the system.
