Abstract
A solar cell testing apparatus including a stage, a movable chuck, a light source and a plurality of probes is provided. The movable chuck is disposed on the stage and capable of carrying a sample sheet to move. The sample sheet has a light incident side, a rear side opposite to the light incident side, and a plurality of electrodes disposed on the rear side. The light source is disposed above the stage and capable of providing testing light to the light incident side of the sample sheet. The probes are located on the rear side of the sample sheet and capable of contacting the electrodes of the sample sheet. The present invention not only can be used to test a substrate type solar cell, but also can be used to test a superstrate type solar cell.
