Using Kepco BOP 1KW for Solar Device Testing

The Kepco BOP 1KW provides a one-step solution for tes
and characterization of solar cells and solar panels. A free
LabView subvi allows rapid characterization of the sola
device using only the BOP 1KW, eliminating the need fo
separate DVMs to measure voltage and current. The subvi i
designed for both I-V Trace and Dark I-V testing, and can
be plugged in or easily adapted to existing LabView tes
applications, even those previously using two DVMs. This
solution relies on an incremental improvement in the proven
BOP 1KW to offer lower cost, greater throughput and
increased ROI when testing solar devices.


FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• SOLAR DEVICE TESTING- Both I-V Trace and
Dark I-V Tests supported.
• FLEXIBILITY- KEPCO BOP 1KW LabView Driver
allows Solar Device testing while maintaining full
functionality of the BOP 1KW Instrument Power
Supply features.
• FASTER THROUGHPUT- 20mS per point.
• ROI - Test setups are quick and easy, require no
special programming for synchronization, require
no dedicated engineering resources to design
and/or maintain components comprising a custom
solution.
• LOWER COST AND SIMPLICITY- No need to
purchase, maintain and calibrate two DVMs -
Simplifies calibration, test setup and operation;
no trigger connections needed.
• RELIABILITY- With all triggering and measurements
done within BOP 1KW there are no synchronization
or noise issues.
• PROVEN TECHNOLOGY- Enhancement of
proven BOP 1KW technology.
• ENERGY CONSERVATION- Employs energy
recuperation as well as active Power Factor
Correction (PFC).
