Solar Simulator

Solar simulator model number - #SS50AAA

Company name – PET (PHOTO EMISSION TECH., INC.)

Solar simulators are commonly used to determine the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of PV devices. Typically, these work as single-lamp systems with photovoltaic devices placed in designated test areas or as multi-lamp systems based on superposition of light cones.
