Description

Features & Benefits: -Class AAA performance -Accurate fill factor regardless of cell type -Reduces handling requirements for high throughput -Single Long-pulse sources Description: SPI-Sun Simulator photovoltaic module testing systems feature light sources that closely match the solar spectrum while avoiding the excessive solar cell heating caused by continuous sources. Spire's simulators can test either crystalline or thin film modules and can be integrated into your fully automated module production line, or operated in manual mode. In automatic mode, a programmed process sequence provides consistent module testing and with options from the factory can offer automated loading and unloading of modules. In manual mode, the controls can be operated as desired.

Configuration

The Unit's Serial Number Tag Reads: Model Number: SIM 4600SLP Serial Number: 55770 Year of Manufacture: 2008 Power Requirements: 220 VAC, Single Phase, 60 Hz, 2.5 kVA CE Marked: Yes Installed Software Information: Part Number: 671-1001 Version: 1.5.6 It has an extra set of new lamps and a crate of glass filters (the tag reads 16 filters - 18x18 PLUS, 8 filters - 18x10.5 PLUS but I did not verify the count of them). We have additional software from the manufacturer which is version 3.5.3. Specifications: Maximum Module Dimensions: 200 cm x 137 cm (79" x 54") Light Source: Full Area Intensity: 70 - 110 mW/cm2 Number of Lamps: 2 Lamp Type: Single Long Pulse filtered xenon tube Pulse Width: 20 to 80 ms at 1,000 W/m2 Spectrum: ±25%, AM1.5G (Class A) Irradiance Temporal Stability: ±0.2% (Class A) Irradiance Spatial Uniformity: ±2% (Class A) Lamp Life: > 100,000 flashes Measurement Range: Range of Light Intensity: 200 - 1,100 W/m2 Measure Time: < 1 sec Power/Module (Max.): 1,000 W Voltage Ranges: 5 ranges (2.5, 10, 25, 100, 250 V full-scale) Current Ranges: 4 ranges (3, 6, 12, 24 A full-scale) I/V Resolution: 0.003% Throughput: Handling Time: 15 sec (typical manual handling) Total Cycle Time: 15 sec Modules/Hour: 240 System Specifications: Test Bed (Approx. - does not include cables): 104.25" L (includes air hook up) x 81.5" W (includes handles on panels) x 35.5" H (includes bracket on top but not the leveling feet) Control Panel Dimensions (Approx. - does not include cables): 42.5" H (cabinet + 21.75" for Control Panel/Monitor) x 19.375" D (includes power lever) x 75.125" W (includes keyboard mount if it is flush with the unit). Weight: 1,230 kg (2,700 lbs) - It is unclear if this includes the control panel from the datasheet. Utility Requirements: Electricity: 200-220 VAC ±10%, 30 A, Single Phase, 50/60 Hz Compressed Air: 80 - 100 psi (550 - 690 kPa) Clean Dry Air (CDA), 8 SCFM (3.7 SLPS) Environment: Temperature: +10°C to +40°C Humidity: 10 to 60% RH non-condensing CE Installation Classification: Machine Category II
