Solar Cell Research and QC
Solar Light offers all hardware required for cutting edge PV Cell Testing and Research applications. Our state of the art single output Solar Simulators produce Class A Air Mass 1.5 Emission Spectrum to accurately replicate full spectrum sunlight, with 1 sun output intensity. They can also be quickly and easily configured by the user to provide UVA only, UVB only, UVA+B, or custom spectra optionally. Models are available from 150W / 1.2″ (3 cm) to 1000W / 6″ (15.25 cm.) These precision research-grade instruments are specifically designed for testing photovoltaic cells in accordance with the latest ASTM, IEC, and ISO laboratory standards. Our comprehensive PV Cell Testing Kits arrive with everything required to immediately begin testing, including the Simulator, Power Supply, advanced Data Logging Radiometer, PMA-Series Full Spectrum Class II Pyranometer, safety glasses, and more. A Source Meter and Calibrated Reference Cell are also available optionally.

Solar Light’s ISO-Classified Digital Class II Pyranometers measure global hemispherical radiation from 300 to 2800nm and utilize thermopile technology, assuring very broad spectral sensitivity, exceptional flatness, and excellent good long term stability.
Solar Light’s Model RC2-B Reference Cell utilizes a 2cm x 2cm monocrystalline silicon solar cell photo sensor, mounted in a durable black anodized aluminum block with a BK7 glass protective window. The region behind the BK7 window has a low reflectivity coating to minimize internal reflections. A K-type thermocouple temperature sensor attached to the back of the solar cell provides an accurate reference cell temperature measurement. The cell has a 4 terminal connector with mating connectors provided.
