Ametek SolarLab XM Photoelectrochemical Test System

Specific XM instrument designed for research of solar cells and photovoltaics

SolarLab XM is a new application-specific product that is primarily focused on solar cell and photovoltaic research. The system offers a high-quality measurement platform for characterizing a range of photoelectrochemical devices such as DSSC’s, Perovskite cells, and Photoanodes,” noted Professor Laurie Peter, world leading expert, University of Bath, UK. Professor Peter acted as scientific advisor during the development of the ModuLab PhotoEchem system and helped ensure that it met the requirements of today’s most demanding photovoltaic researchers.
SolarLab XM includes a potentiostat, frequency response analyzer (FRA) and PhotoEchem module that provide complete characterization of a wide range of Solar cells and PV cells, including Perovskite and Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). Additionally, the system can be used for development of visible spectrum photoelectrochemical systems such as Iron-Oxide photo-splitting of water.
