Hello,
I use a Keithley 2400 sourcemeter to trace I-V curves for solar cells under illumination (the keithley sources voltage, measures current).
I've found that if the current compliance level for the Keithley is set much higher than the current I'm actually measuring, the I-V curve will have...
There do not seem to be too many photovoltaics people here, but if anyone can help me out:
Most crystalline (single and multi) silicon solar panels I've seen have a patterned coverplate. What exactly is the reasoning for using patterned glass?
I have my own thoughts on this but I'll keep...

Ok, here's a few questions I'm interested in hearing the answers to.
How many of you have husbands, wives, girlfirends or boyfriends that are engineers or have technical or scientific jobs?
Would you prefer to marry (or date) someone with a technical / science background or would you prefer...
I've been thinking about this recently. Not because I am unhappy with engineering, but because so many other things also sound so interesting to me.
I'd like to hear from the rest of you. If you had to pick another career, what would you choose?
