ABSTRACT
Improved solar energy harvesting in aquatic environments would allow for superior environmental monitoring. However, developing underwater solar cells is challenging as evaluation typically requires deployment in the field or in large water tanks that can simulate aquatic light conditions. Here, we present a protocol to test underwater solar cells using a light-emitting diode (LED)-based characterization technique usable in a typical laboratory setting. We describe steps for installing and running Python code, matching LEDs to irradiance, characterizing underwater solar cells, and calculating underwater solar cell efficiency. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Röhr et al.1.
