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.

Spi-Sun Simulator Models:

All simulators are available with either Single Long-Pulse or Multi-Flash light options, and with optional Module QA test system.
