Artificial Solar Source

In countries with clear skies, solar radiation on a surface perpendicular to the sun's direction is accepted to provide approximately 1 kW/m².

This artificial solar source is a powerful lighting device enabling simulation of solar radiation for studying the principle and efficiency of photovoltaic cells indoors. It delivers 6000 W at variable luminous intensity and is tiltable to simulate the sun's course and observe its influence.

Power: 1000 W each.
Supply voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz, three-phase.
Service life: 2000 hours.
Type: double-envelope halogen.
Lamps connected 2 by 2 on a three-phase network; requires 3×400 V, 50 Hz supply with neutral and earth capable of carrying 12 A.
Material: specially treated aluminium.
Shape: parabolic.
