Solar Simulator Tester
The Solar Simulator is a brand-new solar energy simulator that provides a completely new solar energy experience. It features highly realistic sunlight simulation, accurately mimicking the intensity and angle of sunlight at different times and seasons. Through the BBA Solar Simulator, users can experience the warmth and comfort of real sunlight.
Applications
This BBA device provides an environment close to natural sunlight. The purpose of the solar simulator is to provide a controllable indoor experimental facility for testing solar photovoltaic modules. The AAA-grade large-area steady-state solar simulator is primarily used for testing large-area photovoltaic modules, and can perform tests including maximum power testing, temperature coefficient measurement, performance under low irradiance, hot spot durability testing, and photoaging testing.
