Description
The Light Soaking Chamber was developed to facilitate long term performance and stability testing of solar cells and/or tiles. The chamber is fitted with a high power metal halide lamp which provides about 130,000 Lux, but is of a non-conforming spectral output for solar simulation. The interior irradiation chamber has a footprint of 30×40 cm and a height of 27 cm.
The optional irradiation controller gives to end user the possibility to control the dose in terms of Lux per minute or W/m2 per minute. The optional irradiation controller measures the dose with a precise sensor calibrated against a PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) reference.
The Light Soaking Chamber has a system of integrated cooling fans and vents in order to maintain thermal stability of devices being tested. For optimal thermal stability the Light Soaking Chamber should be placed in an air conditioned room.
Use: Use Greatcell Energy’s Light Soaking Chamber MH to illuminate solar cells with emulated sunlight, accelerate cell aging, and conduct long term performance and stability testing of cells or tiles.
