View moreThis standard is intended to be used to establish the minimum level of testing required to demonstrate that a solar cell type will operate in a predictable and understood manner. Success and failure criteria are defined for each qualification test.
Main conclusions are: An activation energy of 0.97 eV has been estimated which is significantly larger than the typical accepted value of 0.7 eV used to estimate the solar cell reliability based on space qualification standards . The use of the new estimated value results in significantly higher lifetime values for the tested cells.
The verification and certification shall occur no more than once every two years. 9.9.2 Validation of Solar Cells Qualified for Space The quality level for solar cells intended for space applications, and any test samples developed to spacequalify those solar cells under this standard, shall meet the quality requirements specified herein.
For example, in the European standard, an activation energy of 0.7 eV determined many years ago for silicon devices is assumed. On the other hand, the American standard proposes temperature accelerated tests at the temperatures of 50 °C, 80 °C and 110 °C which are clearly low to really accelerate the life tests of solar cells.
Abstract: Solaero has begun AIAA-S111 qualification of its new, radiation-hard, solar cells: the 33.3% IMMβ (AM0 1353 W/m2) and 31.3% Z4J+ (AM0 1353 W/m2). These solar cells are designed targeting ideal performance in real operating environments including charged particle irradiation and elevated temperatures.
Qualification is required when introducing a new solar cell design. Delta qualification is required when making modifications to the materials and processes used to manufacture a qualified cell. If the materials and process changes are limited, these may be considered and evaluated for the scope of a delta qualification.
