A continues-wavelength LED-based solar
simulator has been developed to optimise the
measurement of solar cells. It achieves more
then one Sun intensity over an area of
200x200mm2. Use of LEDs as the main light
source enabled advanced functions like
variable flash speed and shape and variable
spectrum.
The simulator hardware is described briefly
and simulator classification results are given.
Initial measurements with error analysis of a
mono crystalline silicon solar cell are
presented, proofing that a LED-based solar
simulator has potential to outperform today’s
state of the art solar simulators
