Can you zoom in your IV curve ?
In 2021, believe it or not, most solar simulator software doesn’t allow you to zoom in the IV Curve, Why?
The ability of zooming in a chart, in our days, seems to be pretty basic, yet most software to the exception of Avalon doesn’t offer this functionality.
It might seem like a detail, but how will you know that your measurement is accurate? Yes, a lot of measurement problems show up when you zoom in on an IV and some companies don’t want you to see.
Another reason is due to the fact that the solar industry, especially at the equipment level, and the companies revolving around it does not have strong IT background.

Often, software stack and technologies used are decades old or simply the knowledge isn’t up to par to IT-focused companies.
This ends up in software with UI that looks like what we were used to in Windows 95.
At Avalon, the team behind the software has long experience into release B to C modern software, Coupled with years of lab experience, this knowledge built allows us to design modern software, designed for work efficiency and traceability.

With a modular UI, the software can be rearranged on the fly, depending on the user needs, whether you are a lab or production, you get the information you need under your hand.
Beyond that, zooming capabilities allows to finely check what is going on in your IV, finally!

Zoomed in IV
It doesn’t stop you there. Need to compare IV? We got you covered:
This example shows the IV at PMax over different temperatures.
This functionality is particularly important for measurement quality, as you can easily overlap daily and weekly check IVs, or IVs of panels or reference module sent you a year ago.
You can also easily compare IVs before and after tests such as pre-conditioning, thermo-cycling, mechanical load and so forth and directly import them in your test report without having to go through an additional software such as MATLAB.
A good software saves you time, improve measurement consistency and improve the quality of your report and analysis, and that will show to your clients.
Don’t lag behind!
