Solar Simulator Uniformity Mapper
This uniformity tester uses an array of
solar cells to assess the uniformity of light on its surface. The
8 x 8 array of solar cells covers a 21 x 21 cm plane, enabling
the system to test solar simulators with a 21 x 21 cm illumination
area. A 6 x 6 subset of these cells can be used to assess the
uniformity of light from simulators with a 15.6 x 15.6 cm
illumination area.
The tester enables
solar simulator users and manufacturers to quickly optimize or certify
light beam uniformity. Light from the solar simulator causes current to
flow in the solar cells. The signal conditioning circuitry provides
signals proportional to this current to the data acquisition equipment,
which provides data to the computer. The computer interprets the data,
provides a graphical display of the uniformity, maintains calibration
information and saves test data.
