development in application of measurement routines to deliver repeatable and comparable results. This work investigates the impact of applied measurement methodologies and conditions on I-V performance. Dependencies on light soaking, temperature effects and I-V
curve trace speed are investigated. Furthermore, the problems faced with tracking the maximum power point are detailed. Measurement results on slow responding perovskite solar cells highlight the problems when tracing the I-V curve and show that maximum power point trackers can easily fail to track the real maximum output. Best practice advice is given with the aim to achieve realistic and reproducible characterisation results that are comparable among laboratories.
