Temperature milestone at ParaSol platform

Yesterday (June 10th) we reached >60°C device temperature for the first time this year at our perovskite solar cell testing platform! 📈

Key observations from our weather station data:

• PARASOL consistently measures 4-5°C higher maximum temperatures than ambient due to a “pot effect” created by the high walls surrounding our rooftop terrace at the I+D+i building (Universidad de Zaragoza, Río Ebro Campus)

• Temperature matching between ambient and device sensors during night time hours with no solar radiation. ☽

• Minimum temperatures show no “pot effect” confirming our hypothesis about the terrace microclimate influence

The graphs show 3 days of instant temperatures (device/ambient/chamber storing electronics) plus power irradiation, alongside AEMET maximum, minimum and average temperature data from Zaragoza Airport for comparison.

The harsh season begins for perovskite cells in Zaragoza! 🔥 We’ll be watching closely to see if we surpass last year’s 66°C peak reached in late July.

This thermal behavior is crucial for understanding real-world performance of our perovskite cells with MPP tracker technology! 🔬⚡
