Software for infinityPV Equipment
IV and Lifetime Software
The IV and Lifetime software is developed to control and collect data from the Source Measure Unit systems. It is intended for characterization and lifetime studies of solar cells, measuring IV curves or applying maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under irradiation.
Pump Software
Our pumps come with USB computer interface which allows full pump control and data logging. You can combine several syringe pumps thus you can perform automated gradient and/or dilution experiments. With our free infinityPV software you can rapidly set up the very simple or the very complex experiments.
Slot-die Coater Software
The control software for the Slot-die Coater enables setup of processing parameters and logging of processing data which is essential for documentations and reporting. The software can also control the integrated syringe pumps for full pump control and data logging.
LBIC Software
LBIC Imaging of Solar Cells Laser beam induced current (LBIC) mapping is an established technique for creating an image of the functional area of a solar cell. This enables you to detect defects and efficiency variations, as well as accurately determine that active area. The latter is crucial for determining the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of your solar cells.
Research Laboratory Coater Software
The control software for the Research Laboratory Coater enables setup of processing parameters and logging of processing data which is essential for documentations and reporting. The software can also control the integrated syringe pumps for full pump control and data logging.
Tools for Slot-die Coating
Wet Thickness Calculator
A simple spreadsheet that works out how thick a coating is when it has just been applied, before it dries. You enter the pump flow rate, the coating width and the web speed. It calculates t_wet = Q × 1000 / (W × v).
Dry Thickness Calculator
A simple spreadsheet that works out how thick a coating will be once it has dried. You enter the wet thickness, how much solid material is in the solution, and the density and porosity of the dried film. It calculates t_dry = t_wet × c / [1000 × ρ_film × (1 − φ)].
Coating Length Calculator
Use this calculator before a slot-die run to check whether you have enough ink for the length you want to coat. Enter the ink volume, dead volume, flow rate, coating width and web speed, and it calculates the coating length or how much ink you need for a target length.
Tools for Solar Cells Measurements
Power Conversion Efficiency Calculator
Use this calculator to find the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of a lab-scale solar cell straight from its J–V measurement. Enter the short-circuit current, Voc, fill factor and active area and it calculates the PCE.
