Description

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 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) and a variable concentration ratio with an upper bound above 500x. The illuminated area should be at least 10 mm by 10 mm. - System enclosure for optical safety - Sample holders - I-V cell test equipment and software - Calibrated reference cells - Power supply and control unit (or control PC)
