The PAIOS/SETFOS package has been an asset to our research capability in CSIRO Energy and a key tool in our research and assessment of next generation thin-film photovoltaics, in particular organic and perovskite solar cells. One of the key points of differentiation – and a clear attraction – has been flexibility of the system and the ease in which user-defined experiments can be created. Our Team has appreciated the interaction with Fluxim and realised this has been much more than a transactional experience – we’ve formed a real partnership between developers and researchers. Over the past 2 years we have had the opportunity to suggest end-user modifications to the PAIOS system which have been genuinely considered and in most cases implemented in subsequent version updates. Such a client-developer relationship has been mutually beneficial, ultimately as an improved research tool, yet more than that it helped us build trust and respect as researchers.

Paios is a great platform to comprehensively measure organic semiconductor devices. For us, it would have been much more difficult to obtain insight into physical processes without the Paios system. Together with complementary simulation from Setfos we learned a lot about our OPV and OLEC devices.

We successfully characterized the transient response of silicon-based solar cells with this measurement system. For instance, we were able to determine the electron mobility and photo-carrier lifetime.

This automated measurement platform allows one to perform a series of measurements on organic solar cells within a matter of minutes, which otherwise would have taken days.
