Abstract: To achieve higher measurement accuracy, repeated reproducibility, and durability than a probe using a gold thread, a probe used to measure electrical characteristics of a solar battery cell includes one or more thin plates that are conductors. The thin plates each have an elongated thin plate-like main body, one or more contacts that are thin wires extending in a longitudinal direction of the main body, and spring elements that are thin wires connecting the main body to the respective contacts.
Abstract: To provide an I-V characteristic measuring apparatus that can, even though a solar simulator of a flash light type is used, accurately measure a true I-V characteristic of a solar cell that exhibits a different I-V characteristic depending on a sweep direction when a sweep time of applied voltage is short, an internal division ratio calculation part that, at each voltage value, calculates an internal division ratio at which a current value of a dark state stationary I-V characteristic internally divides a gap between a current value of a dark state forward I-V characteristic and a current value of a dark state reverse I-V characteristic; and a light state stationary I-V characteristic estimation and calculation part that, on the basis of the internal division ratio, a light state forward I-V characteristic, and a light state reverse I-V characteristic, estimates and calculates a light state stationary I-V characteristic are provided.
