52　Characterization of Organic Photovoltaics Using a Multipoint I-V Curve Tracer

Abstract

We have been conducting research toward the practical application of solar matching, which can both generate electricity and cultivate plants by taking advantage of the characteristics of organic photovoltaics (OPV). In this research, we fabricated an I-V curve tracer capable of multi-point measurement and evaluated the power generation characteristics of OPV’s under various light environments. As a result, an inexpensive measuring instrument that can measure the power generation of solar cells at various locations was created. In addition, the necessary data were obtained for an energy storage system suitable for solar matching.
