Benefits and usages of renewable energy are seeing an increased focus getting placed on solar or photovoltaic cells. Companies can realize a continued improvement in solar cell performance and traits by performing necessary evaluations on their products as the products are observed while used in standard testing conditions. To get consistently accurate readings, it is important to use a photovoltaic reference cell that has a calibrated short circuit current. This way intensity or strength levels of a solar simulator used for measurements can be accurately adjusted.
It is possible to use the AK-110 for tandem type (a-si/u-si) cells with the AK-100 Amorphous Silicon Reference Cell. The AK-100 can also be used as a standalone reference. In addition to having best industry accuracy and consistency (in accord with JIS C8904), all filtered PV Konica Minolta Sensing reference cells like the AK-100 Amorphous Silicon Reference Cell are ready as soon as you remove them from the box. They come with a short circuit current (lsc) test report and a PT-100 temperature sensor. AK-100 Amorpous Silicon Reference Cells and all AK series instruments are available for delivery with calibration traceable to NREL.
