High Collimated Solar Simulator

Sciencetech’s highly collimated solar simulators are designed for photovoltaic cell testing applications where a very high degree of collimation of incident radiation is required. Space environmental simulation (AM0 spectrum), CPV and solar thermal applications generally require light sources with collimation angles approaching that of the sun (0.5 degree). Sciencetech’s highly collimated solar simulators can provide continuous illumination (8” and 11” respectively) and high collimation (0.7 degrees half angle). The system uses Fresnel lens technology to achieve very high collimation. These solar simulators include integrated power supplies and an advanced lamp alignment tool which makes them easy to use.

Test Standard: CE Compliant.
