Presentation of some US solar simulator characteristics

Abstract

DSET Laboratories, Inc. is an internationally known materials weathering and solar device testing facility located approximately 30 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona. DSET's current services encompass conventional and accelerated outdoor weathering, optical and radiometric measurements, calibration, outdoor thermal performance testing of solar collectors, indoor simulator testing of solar collectors and systems, durability/reliability testing of solar collectors, and durability/reliability testing of photovoltaic cells and modules. DSET commissioned its solar simulator for commercial testing in January of 1981. The solar simulator not only allows testing to ASHRAE Standards 93-77 and 96-80 but also to ASHRAE Standard 95-1981. In order to test in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 95-1981, a solar simulator must provide an irradiance profile and associated incidence angles for a given standard test days. The unique movement capabilities of DSET's Solar Simulator allows DSET to reproduce a wide range of specified standard days.
