21 different colors LED "create" solar simulator

The day before, the German research institutions located in Leipzig, Franuhofer CSP and Solar Metrology Systems startup WAVELABS Gmb signed a cooperation agreement, and announced the development of solar simulator based on LED.

The LED solar simulator model Sinus-2100, will be used to test PV modules. Fraunhofer said that the new product testing performance can be called perfect.

Sinus-2100 will use 21 different colors of the LED, and allows component manufacturers to choose their own test exposure time. Fraunhofer believes that longer exposure times will be beneficial to manufacturers of high efficiency component testing. The new products will be used using the Sinus-220 tester in the WAVELABS Solar Metrology Systems production in Gmb technology. The two companies expect Sinus-2100 will be put into operation in early 2015.
