To study the I-V characteristics of a solar cell (or PV cell) in dark and under illumination conditions.
To study the IV characteristics of photovoltaic cell in dark and under illumination conditions through the solar cell IV characteristics experiment.
Simple circuit to study I-V with a lamp.
By the end of the Solar Cell IV Characteristics Experiment, the student should be able to:
Solar cells are generally made from semiconducting materials, which are sensitive to structural and environmental factors, e.g, the light intensity, which depends on the power delivered by the solar cell and represents the characteristics of a solar cell.
The photovoltaic simulation can be performed using software for solar cell simulation to analyze cell behavior in the solar cell IV characteristics experiment.
In the photovoltaic simulator, The solar cell is connected in a series circuit consisting of variable resistance, dc battery, ammeter and voltmeter that is connected in parallel to the cell.
By continuously varying the value of the load resistance, we can obtain the I-V characteristics at different bias voltage and light intensity to determine the solar panel IV characteristics.
I love the idea of virtual labs. It's gonna be something that takes our R&D and work in labs to another level. And I look forward to seeing what PraxiLabs can do with it.

Although there are now several vendors offering virtual reality software for physics labs, there is only one that offers a realistic, I feel like I’m in a real lab solution: PraxiLabs.

PraxiLabs offered my students a chance to actively engage with the material. Instead of watching videos on a topic, they could virtually complete labs and realize the practical applications of class topics. This is a quality alternative to in-person labs.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves in a situation that forced us to act quickly to find the best solution available to provide our students with a quality molecular genetics laboratory experience.
