Solar simulator light source for evaluation of solar cells
High-performance light source for evaluation of solar cells
A stable evaluation light source is essential for the development of solar cells. Although evaluations using natural sunlight would be ideal, the constant fluctuations of natural sunlight make it completely unsuitable for performance evaluations. A solar simulator allows evaluations using exactly the same light source every day, and makes it possible to conduct evaluations without being limited by the time of day.
The SERIC Solar Simulators not only provide high-level optical performance, but are also designed for ease of use. The shutter is operated by a stepping motor that minimizes vibration. The operating switches are also collected on a touch panel for improved visibility and operability.
The special Solar Simulator site provides comments from customers who actually use the products, as well as their development history. ⇒ Go to special site.
