Description

The laboratory stand is designed for studying physical processes of solar and light emission conversion into electrical energy. The lab stand allows students to gain practical skills in working with solar cells and explore their main parameters and characteristics.

Structurally the lab stand is a desktop box in which LED based light sources and a solar cell holder are installed. The holder is equipped with a rotating device, which makes it possible to adjust the angle of inclination of the solar cell with respect to the light emission source, providing different rays angles of incidence. LEDs with a different spectrum are used as light emission sources which allows to research and study the spectral sensitivity of the solar cells. There is also possibility to control the intensity of the light source.

Due to the uniqueness and versatility of the design, as well as a set of sensors, the stand allows studying of the technical characteristics of solar cells both for practical training sessions and research groups. The laboratory stand can be useful for postgraduate and undergraduate students studying in the field of semiconductor instrumentation and thin-film energy.

As a control and measurement device NI myRIO-1900 controller from National Instruments is used. The software of the stand developed in the NI LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
