Who accredits the photovoltaic calibration & test laboratory?

The Photovoltaic Calibration and Test Laboratory is accredited by A2LA to the ISO/IEC 17025 Standard, using state of the art equipment for measurements in accordance with ASTM E948 and E1021. The lab welcomes requests for prototype PV device performance measurements or PV reference cell calibrations.

Why is cell characterization important in photovoltaic research?

Photovoltaic research demands cell characterization for a wide range of efficiencies. Any given application could require a small, concentrated area of concern and generate a high current, or, conversely, it may require a large area of illumination but generate low current. Our I-V Test Station applies a modular approach to I-V measurements.

Who are our solar PV measurement experts?

Our PV measurement experts have been in the field for decades and are embedded within a larger research team developing new solar cell technology. Our scientists sit on both the Australian and international standards committees for solar PV, and maintain productive international networks.

What equipment does the PV calibration lab use?

The PV Calibration Lab uses state of the art equipment, including the Oriel Class AAA 8x8 inch Sol3A solar simulator and Oriel Quantum Efficiency Systems, in order to provide record-setting certifications for photovoltaic cells. The Lab welcomes requests for prototype PV device performance measurements or PV reference cell re-certifications.

What is photovoltaic research?
