Photovoltaics

Gamry provides several systems for all types of energy devices. We have included a number of unique features in our software that help to reduce acquisition and analysis time as well as tools designed to improve data analysis and workup. 

Photovoltaic researchers looking for a complete solution will find Gamry's IMPS/IMVS quite capable of helping the researcher find the answers they need.

Gamry has several applications notes available for download dealing with Research Electrochemistry including:

• Dye Solar Cells Part 1: DSSC: Dye Sensitized Solar Cells 
• Dye Solar Cells – Part 2: Impedance Measurements
• Dye Solar Cells – Part 3: IMPS and IMVS Measurements

Recommended Photovoltaic Systems

Many researchers would benefit from two Interface 1010Es, bipotentiostat syncing cable, and the IMPS/IMVS optical bench setup.

This setup lets you fully characterize your dye solar cell in order to extract a variety of parameters such recombination and charge-extraction, short-circuit currents and open-circuit voltages.  There are several LEDs available to fit different portions of the spectrum.  We also have a broadband LED. Finally, it is recommended that you get the Faraday cage associated with the IMPS/IMVS setup to reduce both EM noise and background light.
