Perovskite Solar Cell and Organic Solar Cell Open-voltage (Voc) Loss Analyzing Software

SQ-VLA

  With the technology development of perovskite and organic solar cells, it is necessary to be able to analyze the cause of solar cell power loss for each processing technology. It is vital for yield control researching and developing high conversion efficiency process.


  Improving the conversion efficiency of perovskite and organic solar cells, the open-circuit voltage (Voc) is one of the key parameters. To understand the loss mechanisms is becoming the main researching topic in recent years. One can realize this tend from many efficiency-breakthrough-records on NREL efficiency table. These breakthrough records improved the Voc loss by new transporting materials or passivation layers to increase the Voc performance and final conversion efficiency. Therefore, Voc loss analysis is an indispensable tool for developers to developing highly efficient perovskite and organic solar cells.

Highly efficient solar cell voltage loss / current loss analyzing software

  SQ-VLA is the world’s first software for analyzing open-circuit voltage Voc loss for perovskite/organic solar cells. SQ-VLA can quantitatively calculate the thermal-dynamic loss (E1 loss), radiative loss (E2 loss), and non-radiative loss (E3 loss) according to Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit theory after loading PV-EQE, EL-EQE data and IV curves into SQ-VLA software. The analyzing results of different conditions can be compared to each other at the same time. It can not only greatly shorten the user’s data processing time, but also speed up the process developing progress.
