This article may help you.

Thanks a lot @Bikash

UV-Vis will give you the optical band gap, but not the absolute positions of the bands with respect to the Fermi level.

If you don't have UPS to determine the HOMO (LUMO isn't visible in UPS, anyway), do you have access to an STM where you could do STS?
