Solar Simulators and PV Module QA Testers

Spi-Sun Simulator™ photovoltaic module testing systems feature light sources that closely match the solar spectrum while avoiding the excessive solar cell heating caused by continuous sources. Spire's simulators can test either crystalline or thin film modules and can be integrated into your fully-automated module production line, or operated in manual mode. In automatic mode, a programmed process sequence provides consistent module testing and offers optional automated loading and unloading of modules. In manual mode, the controls can be operated as desired.


Options:
The Spi-Sun Simulator is available with the Module QA Tester. This integrated automation system allows for efficient module alignment, transport, probing and testing. The Module QA option adds high voltage isolation and ground continuity testing, automatic labeling of modules, and automated load and unload of modules.
  Spi-Sun Simulator Models:
All simulators are available with either multi-pulse or Single Long Pulse (SLP) light options, and with optional Module QA test system.
