The conversion efficiency, output performance, and operational stability of solar cells are the core criteria for evaluating the development of photovoltaic materials, the optimization of device processes, and the quality control of components. Traditional testing equipment often suffer from issues such as sparse sampling points, distorted curves, large parameter calculation deviations, and low steady-state matching degrees, making it difficult to accurately capture fine parameters such as the maximum power point, fill factor, series and parallel internal resistances, etc. of the cells. They are unable to meet the testing requirements of new high-sensitivity devices like perovskite, tandem cells, and thin-film photovoltaics, and are prone to problems such as poor data reproducibility, missed detection of hidden defects, and inaccurate efficiency calibration. This severely hinders the iterative research and industrial quality upgrade of photovoltaics.
