The BBA Steady-State Solar Simulator is a high-precision laboratory device that provides solar illumination closely resembling natural sunlight. Using a BBA-class large-area steady-state light source, it enables PV module aging tests, maximum power measurements, temperature coefficient evaluation, low irradiance performance testing, hotspot durability experiments, and light-induced degradation assessments. The system helps evaluate the electrical performance and reliability of PV modules under various illumination conditions.
Standards
The simulator complies with key international standards:
(1) GB/T 6495.3 – Solar Radiation – Measurement of Spectral Irradiance Distribution
(2) IEC 61215 – Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
(3) IEC 61646 – Thin-Film Photovoltaic Modules – Design Qualification
(4) IEC 60904-6 – Photovoltaic Devices – Procedures for Using Reference Cells and Simulators
