Flash Solar Simulators

Sciencetech’s FSSP-HC-B highly collimated flash solar simulator is capable of illuminating targets up to 1.8 x 1.5m (or 1.5m diameter) with highly collimated light (up to 0.5° half angle). This allows testing of concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) or other applications requiring extremely high collimation.

This product includes a power supply, collimating mirror, and lamp. Air mass filters are available separately (AM1.5D and AM1.5G, with additional filters available upon request). Available accessories include IV measurement systems, pre-configured host computers, and sample holding and cooling options. Please inquire with Sciencetech technical support staff about our automation and assembly line manufacturing partners.

Sciencetech’s PSS1.5 flash solar simulator is designed to illuminate large photovoltaic devices up to 1.5m × 1.5m in size with 1 Sun intensity, using a built-in beam-conditioning reflector to maximize the uniform light distribution. The default spectral match is to ASTM AM1.5G, using a heavy-duty xenon flash lamp and spectral filtering. The flash is 500µs at 90% of peak intensity, and 2.5ms at 50% of peak intensity, but pulse stretching options are available for longer, flatter pulses (purchased separately).

This product includes a flash system, power supply, lamp, and an air mass filter (AM1.5G). Other filters are available at additional cost. Available accessories include IV measurement systems, pre-configured host computers, and sample holding and cooling options.

Sciencetech's FSSP solar simulator is designed to illuminate targets of 1x1m with 1 sun, or smaller targets with multiple suns. The default spectral match is to ASTM AM1.5G. The flash itself is a stable 1ms length, with options available (purchased separately) to stretch the pulse. Timing and number of flashes can be computer controlled. This unit is a Class AAA flash solar simulator by default, with options available to reduce spatial uniformity in order to increase target size.

Sciencetech can also offer increased spectral ranges and other additional features upon request.

Sciencetech’s FSSP-HC-A highly collimated flash solar simulator is capable of illuminating targets up to 1.8 × 1.5m (or 1.5m diameter) with highly collimated light (up to 0.5° half angle). This allows testing of concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) or other applications requiring extremely high collimation. Within the illuminated area, the central 1 × 1m or larger meets Class A uniformity requirements. Please speak with your Sciencetech technical support staff for Class A uniformity matching over the entire illumination area. The default spectral match is to ASTM AM1.5D.

This product includes a flash system, power supply, collimating mirror, and lamp. Air mass filters are available separately (AM1.5D and AM1.5G, with additional filters available upon request). Available accessories include IV measurement systems, pre-configured host computers, and sample holding and cooling options.
