Spectral Characterization of Solar Cells for Indoor Wireless Sensor Nodes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A standardized characterization method for solar cells is only available for outdoor use. For the supply of wireless sensor nodes with energy harvesting also indoor applications are of interest. Without comparable values it is difficult to select the proper cell for defined environmental conditions. Therefore it is necessary to compare them individually to be able to make a selection. The work presented here shows a characterization of solar cells according to their spectral behavior. For this investigation a test structure with a monochromator, different light sources, source measure units and instruments for measuring intensity and spectra have been combined. The measurements help to select the best solar cell for indoor energy harvesting applications.
