Sciencetech Solis-CMH Solar Simulators

Features

• Providing a broad spectrum of wavelengths including UV (Natural sunlight illumination)
• Variable illumination areas
• Constant uniformity over large depth
• AM 1.5G Spectral match Class B or C options (ASTM E927-19, IEC 60904-9)
• Long lamp lifetime of up to 10,000 hours

Applications

• Solar simulator for climatic chambers (light, humidity and temperature testing)
• Testing photovoltaic modules (PV)
• Light resistance tests on different type of surfaces such as painted surfaces, plastic, leather
• Projection systems

Summary

Ceramic metal halide (CMH) lamps have a similar spectral to natural sunlight. Though they are less similar than some other options (e.g. xenon arc lamps), CMH lamps have some notable advantages:

• High luminous efficacy
• Long lifetime
• Broad spectrum
• Low lamp replacement cost

These features make CMH-lamp-based systems a good fit for large-area applications such as climatic chambers and material testing arrangements.

A single CMH module can be used for smaller projects, or they can be tiled to expand the test area for larger targets.

The addition of quartz tungsten halogen (QTH) lamps in the fixture can improve the spectral match for more demanding applications.

For custom-designed applications with a specific target area, the number of required CMH lamps, uniformity and working distance can be defined through professional simulation.

The Solis-CMH simulator has class C spectrum by AM1.5 ASTM, with SPC (spectral coverage) of 100% and SPD (Spectral deviation) of 36.7%.
