Photovoltaic module project calibration

What is a photovoltaic calibration laboratory?

As one of the world’s leading laboratories, the photovoltaic calibration laboratory at the Fraunhofer ISE (CalLab) provides measurement services in this field. We measure all types of solar cells and PV modules with precision and reliability, in accordance with international standards.

Does CalLab PV cell have a calibration program?

CalLab PV Cells continues to develop additional calibration experience, allowing for measurements which do not (yet) fall under the accreditation. These calibrations and measurements are performed with the same equipment and reference standards as accredited calibrations.

What is CalLab PV cells?

CalLab PV Cells offers the calibration / measurement of solar cells from a wide range of PV technologies. Our service offer ranges from the calibration of single cells and modules to customized tasks such as the calibration of bifacial modules. WPVS Reference Cells for primary or secondary calibration, Indoor and Outdoor Reference Cells.

What types of solar cells can be calibrated?

Thus, calibration services are available for nearly all kinds of PV-devices; including wafer-based standard silicon solar cells in lab and industrial formats, as well as thin-film devices from various materials.

How do I know if my solar module is calibrated?

For each calibrated module a calibration mark will be issued close to the name plate. The calibration mark on the module is unique. We calibrate individual solar cells and modules, including bifacial modules, with high accuracy (uncertainty of only 1.3%).

Why do you need a photovoltaic testing company?

Expertise, precision, and fast turnaround times from a globally recognized PV testing team Testing and certification for cell and module measurements and primary reference cell calibrations We have a long history of accurately measuring and tracking the efficiencies and performance of photovoltaic devices.
