Solar cells and photovoltaic devices are generally optimised for use at room temperature, but there are certain applications that find them in higher or lower temperature environments, such as in extraterrestrial exploration or in the hottest deserts. This review details examples of how temperature-controlled experiments play an important part in characterising and understanding the behaviour of next-gen photovoltaic devices, including some examples using Linkam’s electrical stages.
