1. According to Different Applications
Depending on various applications, such as solar cell testing, PV characterization under indoor lighting conditions, precise measurements of perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem solar cells, and silicon crystalline cell testing for space use, you can find a solution that meets all your needs at Enlitech.
IEC 90904-9 defines the regulations for evaluating solar simulators. The important parameters and descriptions are as follows, which include:
- Spatial non-uniformity of irradiance
- Spectral match of irradiance
- Intensity instability of irradiance
