PSS 40

Solar Simulator Device

Large Area Module tester designed for space or laboratory applications

In its 4.5 ms usable pulse time the Pulsed Solar Simulator PSS 40 can test modules of 3 by 4 meters in size. Spectrum can be adjusted from AM 0 to AM 2 or special Multi Junction requirements. Power rating (1366 W/m²) adjusted at 12-15 m distance (depending on system setup). Strong mobile steel frame setup includes height adjustable lamp support.
