What equipment is needed for illuminated I-V measurements of a solar cell?

AI Thread Summary
For illuminated I-V measurements of a solar cell, essential equipment includes a light source, two multimeters for current and voltage measurements, and a variable resistor to adjust the load. An irradiance meter may also be beneficial for measuring light intensity. A PV analyzer can be used for more comprehensive analysis. The variable resistor allows for changes in the I-V curve as it is adjusted. This setup is crucial for accurate solar cell performance evaluation.

What equipment is needed for illuminated I-V measurements of a solar cell?

light source, 2 multimeters
light source, 2 multimeters, variable resistor, voltage source
light source of variable intensity, 2 multimeters, irradiance meter
Light source, 2 multimeters, variable resistor
PV analyser

I assume we obviously need a light source, 2 multimeters (one for current measurement and one for voltage measurement) and a variable resistor. As we move the variable resistor the I-V curve will change.

I got asked this question a while ago, and completed some illuminated I-V measurements, but I forgot what equipment I used and I can't find anything online at the moment.

That works.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
