Once the light source was shown to meet the basic
requirements, characterizations of Si and organic
photovoltaics were performed. The PV samples were
irradiated using the filtered Tungsten setup at 0.2 SU, and the
I-V response was recorded via the Labview controlled
source-meter (Keithley 2400). First, to assess the capabilities
of the light source to generate satisfactory I-V curves of
commercially available silicon solar cells, the I-V curves of
the Clare CPC1822 silicon solar cells obtained through the
low-cost light source, and the results were compared to data
sheets provided by Clare [17]. Results for these Si-PV cells
under unfiltered Tungsten light at different intensities are
shown in Figure. 5a, while for filtered light, the I-V curves,
under full illumination and in the dark, are shown in Figure
5b.
