Techniques provide comprehensive data on the electrical response of solar cells under different thermal conditions (Zhao et al., 2020c) | Directly assess the impact of temperature on solar cell electrical characteristics, including efficiency, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor (Zhao et al., 2020c) | Can be integrated into existing solar cell testing setups, making it a practical choice for research and development (Failed, 2023b) | Some experimental setups may have limited control over temperature variations, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of measurements | Focuses primarily on the electrical response and may not provide insights into localized temperature variations | Conducting experiments at multiple temperature points can be time-consuming (Abina et al., 2023) |
