Introduction

Sciencetech’s SF Solar Simulators (Steady State) are low-cost, lens-based systems designed for researchers who do not need a large field of illumination. The SF series solar simulators produce 1 Sun and are available in Class A or B uniformity.

The beam can be projected horizontally (standard) or vertically using a downward-facing stand.

Sciencetech SF series solar simulators produce a highly collimated output, making them an ideal choice for space-based research or systems that require high levels of collimation.

The Sciencetech SF type Solar Simulators include an arc lamp housing, one xenon arc lamp, a touchscreen power supply with igniter, a filter holder, and a testing report.

Sciencetech’s low-cost line of SF solar simulators features a filter box that can hold a range of filters in Sciencetech’s standard FT style filter holder. The most popular options are AM filters, but a variety of other filter options are also available.

AM0 Filter reproduces the extraterrestrial solar spectrum, used for space applications. AM0 spectral match only.

AM1.5 Global simulates the total global radiation on the ground when the sun is at a 48.2° zenith angle. It includes both direct sunlight and diffuse light scattered by the atmosphere.

AM1.5 Direct reproduces the direct radiation spectrum on the ground at a 48.2° zenith angle.

Standards for Class AAA Specifications

Sciencetech’s solar simulator specifications listed are according to ASTM E927 standards, unless otherwise stated. Please contact us if you are interested in matching IEC 60904-9 (2007), JISC 8912-1998, or other standards. We can accommodate testing to match several standards.
