Dear colleagues,
I am working in the field of dye sensitized solar cell. Due to the lack of solar simulator I am not continue my research properly. And next i plan to measure the solar cell efficiency using other configuration lamps instead of solar simulator. Hence please guide me which lamp is better to measure the efficiency and this idea is correct or not?
You can use quartz-tungsten halogen lamp. These type of lamps and others are used to build the sun simulators. In principle, one has to use a source radiation spectral density similar to that of the sun on the earth.
This is required for standard tests and measurements. There are standard test conditions for the solar cells to compare their performance.

Thank you Prof. Abdelhalim Zeke. This article was very useful and also to know some new information.
Thank you
Other configuration lamps such as carbon arc lamps, sodium vapor lamps, argon arc lamps, quartz-tungsten halogen lamps, mercury xenon lamps, xenon arc, xenon flash lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. But these lamps are well suitable for Si Photo voltaic panels.
Also these lamps are suitable for DSSC????
Hi,
In the energy harvesting for IoT (Internet of things) application presents a straightforward solution for easily powering those remote devices using clean energy. The power-generating element must be selected after considering the type of energy to be collected from the surrounding environment, whether vibration, light, or heat. The most common elements used are solar, piezoelectric, or thermoelectric.
Therefore, the standard of the emerging PV applied in IoT follow
(1) For Outdoor (Solar) environment, the solar simulator meet IEC 60904-9.
(2) For Indoor (Lighting) environment, the indoor lighting simulator meet SEMI PV80.
Before IPCE or I-V test for DSSC, I think the emerging PV, DSSC, PSC, ..., have the capacity effect and hysteresis effect. Therefore, I-V of the device show forward/backward can't overlap.
If you want to improve accuracy under I-V measurement, some test method can refer from
