Introduction
1. Product Overview
The Class ABB Solar Simulator (Sol1A series) is a large-area solar simulation system designed for laboratory or production environments. Using a single xenon lamp and proprietary filter, it efficiently meets Class ABB performance parameters without compromising 1 SUN output power. The system is cost-effective and ideal for solar cell and module testing, production quality control, and research applications requiring large-area illumination.
