Large Area Concentrated Solar Simulator

The Satellite Applications Catapult and its partners are investigating concentrator photovoltaics and multi-junction solar cells for space-based solar power and terrestrial use cases. They have identified a need for a large-area concentrated solar simulator facility in the UK. The required setup includes: - Concentrated solar simulator, capable of AM0 and AM1.5 spectrum light (with appropriate filters). The illuminated area should be at least 1 m by 1 m. - System enclosure for optical safety - Power supply and cont...
