Panorama of the solar simulator facility
Solar Simulator
- One of just five worldwide to accurately test solar systems under standard test conditions with simulated full sun.
- Can test air and water collectors, photovoltaic systems, windows with different coatings, as well as advanced components such as semitransparent photovoltaics (that generate electricity while eliminating ultraviolet and infrared radiation).
- Has eight special lamps individually controllable with artificial sky to remove infrared heat from lamps
