The MP-165 I-V tracer (MTI.AWS.EK.165) is the optimum solution for testing individual solar cell or module characteristics in combination with a solar simulator or natural sunlight. It can be found in factory quality control applications or long-term performance assessment studies of modules exposed to natural conditions outdoors.
The cell or module performance characteristics are determined by changing the electrical load during the I-V sweep. The radiant energy on the module can be measured simultaneously with the voltage and current measurements to calculate to Standard Test Conditions (STC) or equivalent standards. The MP-165 can take samplings of voltage, current, and solar irradiance at the same time.
It can also take measurements with an artificial light source (sequential illumination). Connecting the MP-165 to a computer using an RS-232C connector allows the measured data to be displayed graphically.
