Contacting Station for Solar Cells
cetisPV-Contact 1 is designed to be used for manual
or semi-automatic cell testers in laboratory or in small
production environments.
cetisPV-Contact1 is a highly flexible electric contacting
system for solar cells of different sizes and different bus
bar layouts. The width of the three bus bars as well as
the positioning guide can be adjusted in a wide range
to fit to the geometry of the solar cell type to be tested.
The contacting bus bar stripes are designed for the
maximum cell size. For cells of smaller sizes simply those
contact pins (upper bus bar), which are outside of the cell
area, have to be pulled out to avoid short circuiting while
contacting.
In the open position the upper contacting frame lifts its
contacting pins by up to 40 mm enabling an easy loading
and unloading procedure. Pulling down the manual grip
(approx. 90° rotation) the cell specimen will be contacted
in a load balanced position with the upper and lower test
pin springs in equilibrium. Since there is no vacuum plate
with a temperature controlled surface the cetisPV-Contact1
is designed to be used in combination with flasher type of
solar simulators.
The top and bottom side bus bar contacting layout can be
modified to the customer needs (single, twin contacts for
I-U, kelvin-contacts, different spacing).
In the plane of the solar cell contacting position there is
a mounting facility for a monitor cell which is needed
to measure the irradiance synchronous to the IU-curve.
Provided the cell specimen has the same temperature
as the monitor cell the temperature measured inside the
monitor cell can be used to correct the raw IU-curve data
to standard test conditions. Alternatively, the cell temperature can also be measured contact free with an optional
pyrometer camera.
cetisPV-Contact1 can be ideally combined with the IU-curve
tracer cetisPV-CTL1 and the pulsed xenon solar simulator
cetisPV-XF2 to form a complete cell tester.
Top frame and bottom bus bar contacting stripes are easy to
be exchanged. If comparatively often different cell formats
have to be measured, instead of readjusting the contacting
strips to the appropriate cell format, a set of different contacting frames could further ease this procedure.
