FCT-650: Light I-V Testing for Solar Cells

Advanced analysis of solar cells including light I-V and Suns-Voc data. Capability to accurately measure high-efficiency conventional or backside-contact solar cells.

The removable chuck plate allows for multiple custom chucks to be rapidly interchanged with the standard front contact chuck.

Product Overview

The FCT-650 has been designed to have the highest possible accuracy for measuring high-efficiency solar cells. This is done using patented voltage modulation technique to neutralize the capacitive effects in I-V measurements.

The Sinton analysis package includes standard cell test outputs. These standard outputs are supplemented with the Suns-Voc analysis that precisely indicates the source of power loss with accurate shunt and series resistance measurements.

System Capabilities
