Class ABB Small Area Solar Simulators
Category：Other
Introduction
1. Product Overview
The Solar Simulator is designed for researchers who require high-performance solar simulation over a small illumination area of 1.5 x 1.5 inches (38 x 38 mm). It provides reliable, certified solar simulation while remaining compact and cost-effective. The system is suitable for PV cell research and small-area testing applications, meeting Class ABB performance standards.
2. Product Features
Class ABB Performance
Spectral Match: Class A, accurate simulation of the solar spectrum
Irradiance Uniformity: Class B, reduces the impact of hot spots in the working area
Temporal Stability: Class B, stable light output over time without the need for feedback control
Low-cost alternative for small-area PV research
Compact and Integrated Design
Integrated power supply, ignitor, lamp housing, and homogenizer
100 W xenon lamp with integrated reflector
Simple operation: pre-set electronics, no optical alignment or high-voltage connections required
Replacement lamp assemblies drop in place with no adjustment needed
AM1.5G Standard Filter
Comes standard with AM1.5G filter for Class A spectral match
Optional AM0 or AM Direct filters available
Output Adjustment and Shutter Options
Output irradiance can be adjusted by changing the distance between the simulator and the sample
Manual slide shutter included for safety
Optional electronic shutter available with TTL input for external triggering
3. Standards
IEC 60904-9 Edition 2 (2007)
