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 (Rs) and shunt resistance (Rsh). The results of the measurement demonstrate that the system can precisely measure every parameter of the solar cell especially the series resistance (Rs) and shunt resistance (Rsh), which is of commercial value.
