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.
Class ABB Performance
Spectral Match: Class A, simulates the solar spectrum accurately
Irradiance Uniformity: Class B, ensures minimal hot spots in the working area
Temporal Stability: Class B, stable output over time for reliable measurements
Includes IEC, ASTM, and JIS calibration certificate

Xenon Arc Lamp
Continuous-wave (CW) source suitable for all photovoltaic materials
Ozone-free xenon short-arc lamp ensures spectral consistency
Lamp wattage available in 450 W, 1000 W, and 1600 W for various beam sizes

Safety and Control
Housing with temperature sensors and interlocks for operator safety
Forced air cooling maintains optimal lamp and optical component temperature
Integrated shutter for precise control of exposure
Adjustable Beam
Output beam size options: 4 x 4 in., 6 x 6 in., 8 x 8 in.
Beam divergence (half angle): <±4°, <±3°, <±2° depending on model
