We provide comprehensive qualification of solar simulators for use in the production of PV modules and provide simulator manufacturers recognized certification. Our experts have served many customers around the world, providing reliable testing and precise results as well as verification, classification and certification. Measurements in the production line also allow PV module manufacturers to optimize existing systems to increase in-line power control accuracy.
Among our many projects, we have tested turn-key pulsed solar simulator systems which achieved Class A+/A+/A+ compliance for an irradiance range of 600 W/m² to 1200 W/m². These systems also complied with Class A/A/A+ for an irradiance range of 200 W/m² to 500 W/m².
Our testing determines that Class A+ or Class A requirements have been met in the following criteria:
spectral match
non-uniformity of irradiance
long-term temporal instability LTI
Our detailed simulator assessment in the factory allows module manufacturers to minimize their rating tolerances.
