The steady-state performance calibration and aging reliability tests of large-sized photovoltaic panels, large-area thin-film devices, and complete-panel components have long faced industry pain points such as insufficient light irradiation area, large stitching errors, thermal source interference, and poor long-term stability. Traditional small-sized simulators require multiple displacement and stitching tests, which accumulate systematic errors and have poor data repeatability, unable to meet the needs of integrated detection of entire samples. Traditional large-sized xenon lamp equipment has high thermal radiation, high energy consumption, short lamp lifespan, and high operation and maintenance costs, which easily cause sample temperature rise drift and device performance distortion, making it difficult to meet the long-term stable testing and industrial batch quality inspection requirements for perovskite tandem cells, new thin-film photovoltaics, and large-area photovoltaic materials. This restricts the industrialization and quality improvement of high-end photovoltaic devices.
Deeply engaged in the field of precise daylight simulation and photovoltaic testing technology, Saifan Optoelectronics relies on its self-developed multi-channel LED spectral fitting technology, large-area compound eye uniform light optical architecture, and closed-loop dynamic light intensity compensation algorithm to launch a large-area 3A-level LED steady-state solar light simulator. Strictly following the international authoritative standards of IEC 60904-9:2020 and ASTM E927, it achieves triple 3A top-level indicators of spectral matching, irradiation uniformity, and time stability, with the core advantages of ultra-large uniform light spot, LED cold-state without thermal interference, 10,000-hour ultra-long steady-state, and low energy consumption without operation and maintenance. This solves the problem of integrated precise testing of large-area photovoltaic samples and provides standardized and traceable large-area steady-state light solutions for university front-line research, enterprise pilot testing and iteration, and industrial mass production quality control.
