Solar scientists gather to calibrate the sun’s strength during ISRC

During the 7th International Broadband Intercomparison (ISRC) a film crew from EuroNews made a movie on this event for the European science program Futuris.

7th International Spectroradiometer Intercomparison

Also this year, ReRa Solutions is co-organizer of the International Spectroradiometer Intercomparison. The annual ntercomparison gets together top European research laboratories for checking and comparing their primary instruments for broadband and spectral solar irradiance measurements. This year the 7th International Spectroradiometer Intercomparison will be held from 12-16 June 2017 at the ENEL Green Power site in Catania (Sicily, Italy). This event is yearly organized by the European Joint Research Center (JRC).

New product: Multi-junction ISO type Reference Cell

ReRa Solutions, well-known solar cell measurement specialist, has just introduced a unique product: Multi-junction ISO type Reference Cell.

Component cells or ISO-type cells are used to determine the spectral content of the solar irradiation or for tuning / verification of multi-source solar simulators when spectro-radiometers are not fast or accurate enough.

The ReRa Multi-junction ISO type Reference Cell houses 4 single cells with an active area of 1 cm2 arranged to form a square (2.2 x 2.2 cm2). Two LEMO connectors provide the signals (triple junction, 3 component cells and RTD sensor). All four cells are connected using a 4-wire connection.

The triple junction InGaP/InGaAs/Ge solar cell and sub component (Top, Middle and Bottom) cells  are manufactured on germanium substrates.  The silver based finger pattern is laid on the active area by photolithography.

The four cells are composed as follows:

  • TJ: InGaP/InGaAs/Ge
  • TOP InGap/Ge with active Germanium subcell
  • MIDDLE InGaAs/Ge with active Germanium subcell
  • BOTTOM Ge

Two 6mm connectors are available to provide active cooling by a temperature controlled water bath. The bare cells are covered by a quartz window that can be taken off using 8 screws.

Please contact us for more information.
