Solar Simulators for Photovoltaic Testing

Solar Simulators for Photovoltaic Testing
The light source meets the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) laboratory light source standards, "A" class spectral output.

Key Features:

All products are factory calibrated to NIST traceable standards.
+/- 5% uniformity of collimated light
Class "A" spectral output

application:

 Semiconductor testing
 Photovoltaic testing
 Material aging research

The 16S is a ready-to-use photovoltaic cell test light source.
Spectrum "A" class spectral output (AM1.5). 16S-002 is equipped with a vertical beam adapter to
The beam changes direction and shines vertically downward. Typical spot size is 2.25 inches, 1 sun output
The spot size can be customized by the user.
By adjusting the knob on the power supply, the output light intensity can be adjusted from 80% to 100%.
Adjust the light intensity from 10% to 100%.
The 16S accurately reproduces the full solar spectrum. It complies with the latest ASTM illuminant standards and many ASTM standards requiring G151 and G155.
The standard can be achieved by 16S-002. 16S-002 can test solar cells according to ASTM standards E948-95 and G173.
The main features are as follows:
• 150/300 watt Xenon arc lamp
• 150W XPS150 Power Supply / 300W XPS300 Power Supply
• AM filter (certified with NIST traceable light source, compliant with ASTM test
Room light source standard)
• Built-in igniter – for ignition of xenon arc lamps
• High performance optics (for collimation and uniformity control)
• New “A” grade AM1.5 filter can achieve 3cm spot
