Solar Cell Trainer

GES-100
The GES-100 Solar Cell Trainer is a simple
and self-contained trainer designed for learning
the basic configuration and characteristics of a
solar cell. Through the use of different
irradiations and various load units, students
study the optic-electro conversion of solar cells
and plot the current-voltage characteristic and
charging/discharging curves.

uFeatures
● Self-contained solar cell trainer
● Modular design, easy of setup and storage
● Adjustable solar irradiation and azimuth of simulation sunlight
● DAQ equipped, easy to acquire and save the experimental data
