Small Solar Simulator - China

Applications

Photovoltaic Device Testing: Measure short-circuit current (Isc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF), and photovoltaic conversion efficiency (η) for solar cells or modules.

Photocatalysis & Chemical Research: Conduct photocatalytic degradation, photochemical synthesis, and material response experiments under controlled light conditions.

Material Weathering Assessment: Simulate prolonged sunlight exposure to evaluate aging resistance of coatings, plastics, and cosmetics.

R&D of Photovoltaic Materials: Test new solar materials such as DSSC, PSC, and perovskite under standardized solar spectra.

Ground Testing for Spacecraft: Provide irradiation for solar sensors, thermal control systems, and satellite component verification under near-space conditions.
