The spectral response characteristics, photon conversion efficiency, and band matching performance of solar cells are the core bases for determining material compatibility, analyzing carrier transport mechanisms, and optimizing battery structure processes. Traditional integrated testing equipment has fixed functions and a fixed architecture, making it impossible to add or remove test modules as needed, and it is difficult to balance basic spectral testing and high-level mechanism research. Most equipment has a single testing dimension and only supports the collection of a single parameter, unable to link multi-dimensional data such as spectral response, quantum efficiency, and integrated short-circuit current. Facing the differentiated testing needs of perovskite tandem cells, thin-film photovoltaics, and new wide-spectrum devices, this system is prone to problems such as missing data dimensions,片面 machine analysis, and low equipment reusability, severely restricting the iterative upgrading of new photovoltaic materials and the refinement of device process technology.
