SKU: FSSC-4000
Sciencetech's Solar Simulator Concentrator (FSSC) is a well designed, compact and robust source of very high intensity solar irradiance with high uniformity of testing and characterizing solar cells and other devices up to 5cm x 5cm in size.
It may be operated vertically with the normal (61cm x 61cm) mounting base and included sample holder requiring a total height of 82cm or, optionally, with the base removed the smaller dimensions of 36cm x 36cm x 78cm permit the FSSC to be easily mounted to other equipment. A 75mm x 75mm removable Air Mass Filter and a spectrally neutral 8.3:1 mesh attenuator are included with the FSSC. Additional spectrally neutral attenuators up to 100:1 are available from Sciencetech at additional cost. Contact sales at Sciencetech for more info.
Irradiance may be set by power control in 50 steps of approximately +/- 7% of the current level from about 225 Suns minimum without the mesh attenuator or 27 Suns minimum with the attenuator in place under the air mass filter. Note: Irradiance is specified at the flash peak
The Uniformity is better than 2% at the exit plane. Acceptable uniformity may be obtained at working distances of 1mm to 5mm from the FSSC exit plane with uniformity measured and specified at 3mm distance.
Sciencetech also provides the electronics to generate your I,V curve for your cell (Sold separately). The present system can be operated with one flash per point or with all points taken during a single flash. Depending on the measurements standards a maximum of 48 points can be obtained for the I,V curve using a single flash.
