OAI Solar Power Meter

 

 

The OAI Solar Power Meter is a versatile tool for solar simulator calibration and solar cell I-V characterization. The system includes the OAI Solar Power Meter plus a Calibrated Solar Reference Cell. The solar reference cell equipped with a ther- mocouple i s assembled in accordance

with IEC 60904-2. The certification is accredited by NIST to the ISO-17025 Standard and is traceable to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

The OAI Solar Energy Meter measures solar simulator irradiance in "sun" units, for example, with one sun equaling 1000 W/m2 at 25 °C at Airmass 1.5 Global Conditions.

Other calibration conditions are available as well, and the meter can be used with additional reference cells without being recalibrated. The OAI Solar Power Meter features two separate Thermal Measurement Connector types (k-type thermocouples and rtd) - Designed for use with either type.
