Netherlands-based PV test equipment supplier Eternal Sun is offering a new light-emitting diode (LED) board, pre-calibrated for air mass zero (AM0) testing, as an option that enables space-based solar PV testing with its new and used flagship solar simulators.
“Existing customers can easily upgrade their current configurations with these new boards,” said Jake Veloza, Eternal Sun sales manager for the Americas, Europe. pv magazine. The boards are available for the Eternal Sun LED Light Soaker, LED Mini Light Soaker and LED Flasher systems.
“This innovation is tailor-made for the future of solar energy in space: perovskites and tandem cells,” said Veloza. “Whether you need constant lighting or flashing, these boards are built for the demands of space exploration to help teams test silicon, perovskite and tandem solar cells with the same reliability our customers trust for ground-based qualification.”
The Eternal Sun instruments offer A+A+A+ with a spectral range of 300-1200 nm, certified according to IEC 60904-9 Ed. 3. They can be used for testing cells, mini PV modules and full space modules with spectral tuning, IV measurement and recipe creation in a temperature controlled environment.
Founded in 2011, the company recently acquired Wavelabs Solar Metrology Systems, a Germany-based solar simulator manufacturer specializing in solar cell test equipment.
