LED’S SHARE KNOW-HOW
Knowledge is the only resource that increases when it is shared.
WAVELABS Campus is our open platform for all those who want to use technical innovations, new ideas, and intrinsic motivation to make planet Earth more sustainable. We network R&D with the business community, building bridges from the media to the public. With different formats, from virtual Impulse Talks to real Round Tables and Podcats etc. Sharing is caring. Welcome to the WAVELABS Campus.

LED-based analysis of multijunction solar cells
LED's MEASURE TANDEMS Tandem Cells Demand High Accuracy For tandem cells, I-V measurements that lack careful tuning of the spectrum or stabilization, result in significantly distorted I-V curves, short-circuit current (Isc), and fill factor (FF), which are not representative of real-world conditions. NREL’s survey of tandem cell measurement methodologies found that only a fifth of the published [...]

WCPEC-8: Bernhard Klöter: Accurate High Throughput Current-Voltage Classification of High Efficiency Silicon Solar Cells
LECTURE/VIDEO Modern manufacturing of advanced PERC, TOPCon or HJT silicon solar cells can maintain high excess minority carrier lifetimes into finished device. Such cells are inherently slower to respond to transients in terminal voltages, making steady-state current-voltage sweeps incompatible with today’s industrial throughput requirements. Bernhard Klöter discusses the use of the RapidWAVE® method implemented in WAVELABS SINUS-300 LED [...]
