Solar energy shows promising prospects to fulfil modern energy needs. There is therefore, a strong need to develop economically viable and efficient technologies to harness the huge energy potential provided by the sun. For this purpose, research is being carried out to develop photovoltaic devices that can be used to this effect. This research envisages the designing and development of a testing chamber for photovoltaic devices at different solar illumination levels, under known temperature and environmental conditions. The proposed chamber will have a controlled environment, wherein the photovoltaic cell shall be mounted. A temperature control system will be incorporated in the test chamber that will have the ability to control and maintain the temperature surrounding the test cell.
