The Solar Reference Cells from Pharos Technlogy are designed for calibrating the irradiance of solar simulators standards used for testing solar cells and solar modules.

Description:
The Solar Reference Cells consist of a 20 mm x 20 mm monocrystalline silicon Photovoltaic (PV) Cell encased in a 92 mm x 70 mm x 16 mm metal enclosure with a protective window and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can be selected as either a Type K thermocouple or a 100 ohm platinum Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD). Customers have different choices of various window types.

The Solar Reference Cells come with a calibration certificate and compatible set of connecting cables. The following parameters of the reference cell are certified: Isc, Imax, Voc, Vmax, Pmax, Area, Fill Factor and Efficiency. The calibration certificate is accredited by NIST to the ISO-17025 standard and is traceable both to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and to the International System of Units (SI). A compatible cable set is also supplied with each one.

Optional temperature dependence measurement of Isc, Voc and efficiency between 20°C and 30°C is also acceptable.
