I know short circuit current, open circuit voltage, sunlight intensity and temperature of a solar cell; and I want to see the I-V profile. Is there any method of obtaining I-V curve for aforementioned parameters ? Do I need to measure any other parameter for this analysis? Is there any easy way to see the I-V profile of a solar cell?
I will be very thankful to you if you advise me about this problem.
Hi Manoj, it depends very much what instrument you are using to measure your solar cell parameters. Using a Keithley 2400 series source meter is a popular choice, and they build very good instruments. They also have quite a bit of information on how to carry out such measurements and have sample software too which is a great stating point. See for example:
