Abstract
A solar cell testing apparatus can include a first electrical probe configured to receive a first voltage at a first location of a solar cell. The solar cell testing apparatus can also include a second electrical probe configured to receive a second voltage at a second location of the solar cell, where the second location is of the same polarity as the first location.
Claims20
A solar cell testing apparatus, comprising:
- a first electrical probe configured to receive a first voltage at a first location of a solar cell;
- a second electrical probe configured to receive a second voltage at a second location of the solar cell, wherein the second location is of a same polarity as the first location.
A solar cell testing apparatus, comprising:
- a first electrical probe configured to receive a first voltage at a first location of a solar cell;
- a second electrical probe configured to receive a second voltage at a second location of the solar cell, wherein the second location is of a same polarity as the first location;
- and
- a first feedback circuit coupled to the first and second electrical probes, wherein the first feedback circuit is configured to reduce a voltage potential between the first and second locations.
