The following experiments are possible with the scope of supply:

  • Measurement of the irradiation intensity of different light sources
  • The solar cell as energy converter
  • The solar cell as energy converter/as diode
  • The open circuit voltage of a solar cell/shading
  • The short circuit current of a solar cell/shading
  • The open circuit voltage and short circuit current with varying irradiation intensity
  • The short circuit current of a solar cell with varying angles of incidence of the light
  • Series connection of solar cells/shading
  • Parallel connection of solar cells/shading
  • Voltage-current characteristic line of a solar cell
  • Calculation of efficiency/MPP
  • Simulation of the course of a day
