Modcon-CPV

ModCon-CPV is a system for indoor measurements of concentrating PV cells. The system offers a measurement method for an electric characterization of concentrator PV cells with high efficiency rates. Until recently such characterization could not be conducted indoor, but only under real conditions with sunlight. For the commercialization of concentrator cells this constituted a serious bottleneck.

The Modcon-CPV system can also be utilized inline in a production line for quality assurance.
