Solar simulator

The Temperature Controlled Lab Flasher (TCLF) consists of A+A+A+ Xenon Single Long Pulse Spire solar simulator and temperature-controlled chamber. The Spire lab flasher provides superior measurement accuracy and precision for critical module performance measurements. The system delivers a Class A+ 300nm-1200nm spectrum (SPC >99%) in addition to Class A + uniformity and temporal stability in combination with a measurement repeatability of ≤ 0.15%. The solar simulator’s unique feature of 270ms single pulse duration supports maximum module power determination of high-efficiency silicon, thin-film, PERC, HIT and multi-junction modules that exhibit internal capacitance effects. The add-on temperature control chamber enables accurate temperature-related tests. The chamber’s temperature range is 10-85C and temperature uniformity± 1C. The chamber can be added to existing Spire flashers. With the TCLF, RnD and certification labs can perform: • - Accurate power determination of all new high efficiency modules • - Testing bifacial PV modules • - Accurate measurements of temperature coefficients • - Accurate determination of energy rating
