Spire - High Performance Steady State Solar Simulator
Study performance and degradation of different PV technologies over time with our temperature-controlled A class steady-state solar simulator.
Eternalsun Spire has developed an AAA+ High-Performance Light Soaker (HPLS) with extremely accurate temperature control and in-situ IV characterization. The system combines AAA+ class steady-state illumination (IEC 60904-9 ed. 3) and extremely accurate and uniform temperature control from 25 to 95 C.
The HPLS enables the study of degradation effects that potentially predict overtime underperformance of solar plants simulating real-life conditions. It can measure the metastability of thin-film modules such as CIGS, CdTe, GaAs; accurately perform IV measurements of OPV, perovskite and tandem cells; perform temperature coefficient and energy rating measurements.
Humidity control can be added.
Accurately test the efficiency and reliability of Perovskite and Tandem PV modules
A class steady-state illumination, adjustable spectrum, light stability and temperature control enables precise measurements of these innovative technologies at STC conditions
With the HPLS, RnD and certification/test labs can perform:
- Accurate power determination of all PV module types and technologies
- Stabilization and LeTID tests
- Accurate temperature coefficient measurements
- Energy rating tests
