We are pleased to provide you with a quality product - a reliable source of artificial sunlight, designed for precise testing of photovoltaic cells in the laboratory or manufactory.
The PT SUN8A Class A Solar Simulator takes solar simulation to the high level.
According to IEC 904-9 , JIS C 8912, and ASTM E 927-05 standards, this 8 x 8 inch, 1600 Watt, light source uses a quality xenon lamp and proprietary filter to exceed Class A performance parameters without compromising the 1 sun output energy.
The house provides a safety space for the lamp. It is equipped with safety interlock systems. An AC fan provides forced air-cooling to maintain optimal lamp, optics and housing temperature. It includes an upgraded shutter for production-environment operation.
The newly designed shutter for the simultors is a rugged, single-blade shutter designed for 1 million cycles. Real-world performance has exceeded 10 million cycles. The shutter can be controlled by a contact closure or logic level input, or a convenient push-button switch on the housing.
The lamp is an ozone-free xenon short arc lamp. We certify each source with the supplied lamp. For continuous production, it is suggestion that purchasing replacement lamps when the simulator is purchased. This will ensure Class A certification as lamps are replaced. Our AM1.5G Air Mass Filter retains its optical properties through the life of the simulator.
The highly regulated power supply provides constant electrical power to the xenon lamp. Lamp usage can be automatically monitored in accumulated hours from the power supply. It is important to replace the lamp at the end of its rated life to maintain the minimum 1 sun output.
