Product Information:

The solar simulator is an ideal artificial sunlight source used in scientific research and industrial solar cell fabrication. It employs LEDs covering a wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm as the light source. Through spectral fitting, light mixing, and homogenization, it generates a simulated solar light that meets AAA-class standards.

FAQ

1. What is a Solar Simulator?

A Solar Simulator is a laboratory device that replicates natural sunlight under controlled conditions. It is used to test the performance, durability, and aging resistance of materials, solar cells, coatings, and other products exposed to solar radiation.

2. What is its working principle?

The system uses a high-intensity light source (such as xenon lamp, metal halide lamp, or LED array) combined with optical filters and control systems to simulate the solar spectrum, intensity, and irradiation uniformity of natural sunlight in a stable indoor environment.

3. What parameters can it test?

It is commonly used to evaluate:

Solar irradiance intensity

Spectral distribution (UV, visible, IR)

Photovoltaic conversion efficiency

Material aging and degradation

Thermal effects under sunlight exposure

4. Which standards does it comply with?

Typical standards include:

IEC 60904-9 (Photovoltaic device performance testing)

ASTM G173 (Solar spectral irradiance reference)
