An autonomous circuit for measurement of photovoltaic devices parameters
autonomouscircui00call.pdf (4.366Mb)Abstract
In this research a novel autonomous test system is presented. The system is a self contained microprocessor based experiment, which was developed to compare and test different state-of-the-art Gallium Arsenide and Silicon solar cells. The result will help evaluate radiation hardness properties of both types of solar cells. The system can also be used to study the annealing process as well as shadowing effects in space array systems. Stringent requirements were considered in designing the system for durable operation in a space environment.
