Overview

The SS-X solar simulator uses xenon short arc lamps as broadband light sources. The color temperature of xenon lamp is 6000K, which is close to natural sunlight (5500K). All SS-X series solar simulators not only use optical simulation software to simulate optical mechanical system design, but also use Fourier optics technology to generate spatially uniform irradiance, which has been well demonstrated in semiconductor mask aligners. The $r $nAM1.5G filter is made using advanced plasma deposition technology, with high spectral accuracy and long service life. Better spectral levels are more suitable for characterizing various new solar cells than any other simulator.

feature

A+spectrum:
Highly matched AM1.5G reference spectrum

　　The AM1.5G filter of SS-X solar simulator is manufactured using advanced plasma deposition technology, which has high spectral accuracy and good durability, and its service life can be increased by three times on the original basis. This simulator has excellent spectral grade and is suitable for characterizing various new types of solar cells, including low bandgap organic solar cells and perovskite/silicon stacked solar cells.

A+irradiance
Time instability

　　SS-X adopts a medical equipment level power supply system, which can provide smaller current ripple. The improved current output enables the irradiance time instability of the SS-X solar simulator to reach an A+level. This enhanced irradiance instability makes it possible to reveal more detailed scientific principles of new generation solar cells, such as perovskite solar cells.

SS-IRIS：
Automatic light intensity adjustment

　　SS-IRIS isEnlitechProducts with advanced technology. This technology enables the adjustment of irradiance intensity while maintaining spectral stability of irradiance. The irradiance range can be adjusted between 0.01 to 1 sun (1mW/cm ² to 100mW/cm ²), with an accuracy of 1%.

Output beam direction:

The SS-X series solar simulator supports the function of setting the output beam direction, and the flexible output direction provides users with more application areas.

1. General situation: The standard output beam direction is downward.

2. Special circumstances: The following two types (please contact our sales personnel for options).

2.1 Bottom up: Output the beam direction upwards, suitable for integration with glove boxes.

2.2 Lateral configuration: Lateral configuration, usually used to irradiate water splitting batteries.

Integrated optical shutter:

The SS-X series solar simulator integrates a single blade mechanical shutter. It can be manually or automatically controlled by a xenon power supply and switches from the on state to the off state within 199 milliseconds.

Xenon power supply:

The SS-X series solar simulator power supply has the following characteristics:

3.5-inch color touch panel.
A digital timer that can monitor the lifespan of light bulbs for up to 9999 hours.
Digital lamp voltage and current display.
Overvoltage/overcurrent/overtemperature warning.
Control the cooling delay time after the light bulb is turned off.
Illuminator cover safety lock warning and automatic light source shutdown.
Built in programmable shutter control module.
Built in programmable SS-IRIS aperture control module.
RS232port.

Reference battery:

　　EnlitechProvide multiple types of reference batteries that comply with WPVS types and IEC 60904 standards. The purpose of reference batteries is to assist in accurately characterizing solar cells to adapt to the rapid development of various new types of solar cells. We use optical filter embedding technology to establish the response characteristics of reference cells in different spectral wavelength ranges, effectively reducing spectral mismatch between solar simulators and new solar cells.

Calibrated standard cells are a crucial part of solar simulator calibration and accurate characterization of solar cells. Enlitech's calibration laboratory is certified according to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. All SRC-2020 series reference batteries are calibrated by tracing back to NREL or ISE Fraunhofer.EnlitechWe also provide recalibration services for standard batteries.

　　EnlitechProvide multiple solar reference cells for calibrating the illuminance intensity of solar simulators or daylight simulators. The spectral response curve is shown below. Each reference battery kit will provide a WPVS encapsulated silicon reference battery with an optical window, two Lemo connector cables, and a certified daylight intensity calibration report.

IVS-KA6000: IV Measurement Software

　　All SS-X series solar simulators can be controlled through IVS-KA6000 software, which is an IV measurement software that can be used for accurate PV characterization. Not only the light gate, but also the output light irradiance can be controlled through the IVS-KA6000 IV software, helping users easily complete complex IV tests or Sun Voc tests under different light intensities. All IV data from IVS-KA6000 can be read and analyzed through IVS-KA Viewer, another multifunctional analysis software.

In the past, measuring and fitting the ideal factor n of solar cells was neither easy nor time-consuming. For example, obtaining 10 IV curves under 10 different light intensities usually takes one hour. Afterwards, organizing these data will also take about an hour. However, with our testing solution SS-X solar simulator+IVS-KA6000+IVS-KA Viewer, it is possible to measure and fit the ideal factor n in just a few minutes.

Solar cell calibration and testing laboratory:

　　EnlitechThe calibration laboratory is a commercial company certified by ISO/IEC 17025 in the field of photovoltaics in 2012. We provide solar cell conversion efficiency certification through advanced testing instruments, including SS-X solar simulator and QE-R quantum efficiency testing system. In 2020, we have completed the certification transition from ISO/IEC 17025:2005 to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, which is the latest calibration laboratory operating standard and provides higher quality certification services. We can provide measurements of solar cell quantum conversion efficiency and quantum efficiency based on IEC 60904-1 and IEC 60904-8, respectively. All work standards and test results can be traced back to SI units through calibration by NREL, Fraunhofer ISE, or NIM.

Maintenance of SS-X:

The SS-X series solar simulator can maintain A+spectral efficiency during its' performance lifespan ', which does not equal its' bulb lifespan'.
Any simulator needs to be recalibrated and adjusted after replacing the light bulb to achieve the desired performance.
Enlitech provides on-site measurement and adjustment services by professional and qualified engineers.
Enlitech provides maintenance services even after the warranty period to help you keep your system in good condition.
