IPVF testing new perovskite solar PV testing platform from Ecoprogetti

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The French research institute has added to its perovskite solar cell and module pilot line an Ecoprogetti integrated testing platform that combines a solar simulator with advanced electroluminescence (EL) analysis.</span></p><p>Italian solar PV equipment manufacturer <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/05/20/ecoprogetti-releases-fully-automated-solar-panel-recycling-line/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ecoprogetti</a> announced that its Ecosun Nova  EL testing platform has been installed in the perovskite solar cell and module pilot line of French research institute <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/11/14/french-consortium-to-set-up-5-gw-factory-for-4t-tandem-perovskite-silicon-modules/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France (IPVF)</a>.</p>
<p>The integrated testing platform combines a solar simulator with advanced electroluminescence (EL) analysis. </p>
<p>The system will provide advanced EL analysis and stabilization tests of both cells and mini-modules, enabling IPVF to progress technologies developed in the lab toward industrial standards, according to a statement that also noted that it will allow for “more accurate assessments of durability, stability, and performance on a real-world scale.”</p>
<p>The testing instrument is made to adapt to non-standard and evolving testing procedures required for perovskite and other new cell technologies. It is a high-resolution EL system, processing at 150 px/mm², to support detailed analysis to identify defects, microcracks, and irregularities.</p>
<p>It supports constant voltage or current while monitoring the cell’s status in real time. It also offers traditional bidirectional IV measurements, with very fast scan rates (10 V/s) to extremely slow scan rates (below 0.001 V/s), which the company said is “essential for investigating transient phenomena and the instability typical of perovskites.”</p>
<p>Electrical characterization tests and monitoring of the modules’ light emission under controlled conditions are supported by MPPT tracking and steady-state testing modes, extending test times well beyond the 24-hour limit, according to the company.</p>
<p>The Ecoprogetti equipment is available globally, a spokesperson told <strong>pv magazine</strong>, noting that it already has a collaboration with unspecified customers on perovskite activity.</p>
<p>“With this technology, high-precision detection can be performed on modules made from both silicon and perovskite, thus supporting research on next-generation cells,” said the company.</p>
