Space Solar Simulator SML-2K1UV0

*Space (AM0) → A secondary reference solar cell is used as the measuring instrument, and the calibration value for AM1.5G is multiplied by 1.367 to derive the AM0 reference irradiance.

A space solar illuminator for illuminating large areas has been added to the Space Solar Simulation System series, a line of lights that reproduce sunlight in outer space.
Because it can illuminate a larger area than the Space Solar Illuminator (XG-500HFSS), it enables the testing and evaluation of larger components and materials.
These lights can be customized to meet your needs, and we provide simulated sunlight for a wide range of space applications, including systems that illuminate even larger areas and systems equipped with thermostatic chambers.
