The Software

It includes a ready-to-use software to perform smart measurement routines automatically during aging.

Measurements

  • The setup can carry out a wide range of solar cell characterization measurements from transient to steady-state to help researchers understand the working mechanism of thin film solar cells. ​

  • Its high precision enables JV measurements similar to Keithley SMU's while extending the scan rate to >1000 V/s.

  • Fast hysteresis measurements can be scheduled via a booking system to automatically measure in given intervals during aging.

New Features and Add-On Modules

Automatically track ionic losses in periodic intervals losses during maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Extendable to multiple (>32) parallel channels.​

Automatically track ionic losses in periodic intervals during temperature aging. With programmable temperature control unit.

About FastChar

FastChar started as an idea to create a compact yet powerful tool to characterize thin film solar cells, in particular perovskite solar cells. The concept was developed by a team of scientists at the University of Potsdam.
