Optimize your processes – LEDs work smarter, not harder!
Two key objectives drive solar cell manufacturers to innovate: decreasing production costs and enhancing cell efficiency. So far, pinpointing the root causes of varying or insufficient cell performance has proved to be a meticulous and time-consuming task – a never-ending game of trial and error. WAVELABS' latest innovation – the WAVELABS Flashboard – addresses this problem by introducing the first intelligent and automated big data solution for solar cell production. "WAVELABS Flashboard helps cell manufacturers of any size to [...]
WAVELABS introduces award winning solar cell metrology systems for research and production lines
The Leipzig-based technology company for LED Metrology Systems, WAVELABS, is releasing a new generation of high-precision, future-proof solar cell flashers. SINUS-360 PRO and SINUS-360 ADVANCED address the specific requirements for modern production lines and research facilities, respectively, to give customers a head-start in the throughput-driven photovoltaics industry and new cell technology developments. The next-generation solar simulator SINUS-360 ADVANCED has won this year's Intersolar Award in Munich, Germany, where the product line is also launched. Leipzig, Germany, June 14, 2023 [...]
WAVELABS launches first all-in-one solar module metrology system for production lines
The Leipzig-based technology company for LED Metrology Systems, WAVELABS Solar Metrology Systems GmbH, has developed two new generations of solar module flashers for production and research, respectively. SINUS-3000 PRO is the first commercially available all-in-one solar module flasher for production lines while SINUS-3000 ADVANCED is specifically designed for the demanding research of modules based on perovskite-silicon tandem (PST), multi-junction or other new material cells. Both systems will be launched at Intersolar 2023 in Munich, Germany. Leipzig, Germany, June 12, [...]
Accelerate your Cut-Cell Measurement
Exact characterization of up to three cut cells with one flash. Providing individual measurement data sets for each cut cell.
WAVELABS defines requirements and solutions for the characterization of PST solar cells
WAVELABS, the world's leading developer and supplier of state-of-the-art LED cell flasher solutions, has published a white paper discussing the promising PST cell technology and the requirements for cell test systems. Also known as perovskite silicon tandem, PST photovoltaic cells achieved an efficiency record of over 31.25% for the first time in 2022. PST cells are therefore seen as a beacon of hope that will enable the even faster roll-out of renewable energies in the fight against the climate [...]
WCPEC-8: Torsten Brammer: Machine Learning and Led Solar Simulators for Fast Efficiency Improvements
LECTURE/VIDEO How can we proof the efficiency of solar cells even faster in production but also in R&D? At #WCPEC8 our founder Torsten Brammer presents two methods to achieve this goal by machine learning by the flexibility of a LED solar simulator. The World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion (WCPEC-8) is the world’s biggest platform for PV research and development.It combines the three largest and most prominent international PV conferences: the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (EU PVSEC), [...]
WCPEC-8: Hannes Wagner: A Machine Learning Strategy for Analysing PERC and TOPCon Solar Cells in Mass-Production
LECTURE/VIDEO
Watch the video of Hannes Wagner-Mohnsen, Data Scientist at WAVELABS, about machine learning given at the 21st International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices (NUSOD, 13-17 September 2021).
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 solar simulators to address the requirements for throughput without sacrificing accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of the reported performance and sorting [...]
