Abstract

Based on LabVIEW, the measurement system of I-V characteristics of solar energy is designed with a solar simulator, a Keithley 2400 Source Meter and a GPIB port. The system can quickly describe the I-V characteristic curves and calculate the basic characteristic parameters and focus on the analysis of the series resistance (R_s) and shunt resistance (R_sh). The results of the measurement demonstrate that the system can precisely measure every parameter of the solar cell especially the series resistance (R_s) and shunt resistance (R_sh), which is of commercial value.
