Solar Simulator
Solar simulators provide a broadband spectrum close to that of the sun from the UV to the IR. The main part of the solar simulator is a xenon arc lamp that reaches a color temperature of approximately 6000 K which is very close to sun light.
The main application of our solar simulator systems is the evaluation of power parameters of solar cells. For this type of measurements, the solar simulator is integrated into an IV measuring station. For setting the correct irradiance value we offer calibrated reference cells.

Further applications are the determination of Measurements can be made on a wide range of solar cell materials, such as: Monocrystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, α-Si, GaAs, GaInP, InP, Ge, CdTe, CIS, CIGS, DSSC, Organic Solar Cell, Polymer Solar Cell.
In addition the system is also applicable for a variety of solar cell structures, for example: Single junction, multi-junction, HIT, thin film, HPV and so on.
According to European ICE 60904-9 norm, solar simulators are tested for 3 different criteria and classified for each criterion into class A,B, or C. This results in a classification of the complete solar simulator, for example AAA or ABA. The criteria being tested are spectral match, non-uniformity and temporal stability of the light.
The main application of our solar simulator systems is the evaluation of power parameters of solar cells. For this type of measurements,the solar simulator is integrated into an IV measuring station. For setting the correct irradiance value we offer calibrated reference cells.
Further applications are the determination of plant growth, characterization of transparent components like sun protection glasses or the development of skin care products.
