A system and method for characterizing the solar cell conversion performance and detecting a defect in a solar cell includes applying an optical signal to the solar cell using the multiple-scanning method, measuring the solar cell photocurrent in response to the solar cell illumination by the multiple-scanning method, and detecting a defect and finding its location based on the characteristic mapping of solar cell photocurrent, which is obtained by the multiple-scanning method through the divisional control of light transmittance by the LVP (light valve panel). The defect may be a solar cell subsection which has abnormally low photocurrent below a critical value and can be caused by a short between the emitter and the base of solar cell. The LVP may be realized in any one of a variety of ways. For example, the LVP may be a flat-panel display such as AMLCD and AMOLED. |
