PSS-Series Large Area Flash/Pulsed Solar Simulator-Application - Shanghai Morningtest Environmental Chambers Co.,Ltd.

PSS-Series Large Area Flash/Pulsed Solar Simulator

Test Standard and Test Purpose: The PSS-series of flash (or pulsed) solar simulators are designed to illuminate large photovoltaic devices up to 2 × 2 m in size with up to 1 sun irradiance, with spectral matching to terrestrial (AM1.5G) or space (AM0) conditions. Spectral match must be selected at the time of order and cannot be changed after production. The system comes with an included device trolley, with a tilted target plane calibrated for the system. These systems are based on a heavy-duty xenon flash lamp, combined with spectral filtering and a built-in beam conditioning reflector. The standard flash measurement window is 0.2 ms, but an optional pulse current regulator can be selected to allow for a flat, stable pulse within a measurement window of 4.0 ms.
