The installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation increased by 14% annually. Precise detection

2026-03-17 Clicks:50

In 2025, China's installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation exceeded 1.2 billion kilowatts, with a year-on-year growth of 35%. High-efficiency battery technologies such as perovskite, TOPCon, and HJT are accelerating their iterations. "Cost reduction and efficiency improvement" has become the core proposition of the photovoltaic industry. Throughout the entire chain of battery research and component production, the steady-state solar simulator, as a "precise detection tool that simulates natural sunlight", its spectral matching degree, irradiation uniformity, and test stability directly determine the accuracy of core parameters such as battery conversion efficiency and fill factor. It is the key equipment to solve the industry's "uncertain measurement, slow measurement speed, and difficult adaptation" problems. 


Beijing Saifan Optoelectronics, which has been deeply engaged in the field of photovoltaic detection for 22 years, relying on 33 core patents and accumulated photovoltaic detection technology, has launched the SS-7000 series of steady-state solar simulators. With the core advantages of "super 3A + level performance, full-scenario compatibility, and software and hardware collaboration", it has passed the highest international standard IEC 60904-9 certification and become the preferred "sunlight simulation expert" for global photovoltaic enterprises and research institutions, injecting precise detection power into the high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry. 


1. Technological Innovation: Defining the New Heights of Steady-State Solar Simulator Performance 


Saifan's SS-7000 series focuses on "extremely precise and stable efficient" performance, breaking through three major industry technical bottlenecks, and creating the "performance ceiling" of photovoltaic detection: 


Super 3A + level optical performance, measurement uncertainty ≤ 1.5% 


Using imported 3000W short arc xenon lamps, it accurately replicates the AM1.5G standard solar spectrum (300-1100nm full spectral range coverage), with a color temperature of 6000K close to natural sunlight (5500K), and light intensity stable at 1366 W/m² standard solar constant. Through dual-side synchronous lighting technology and multi-channel uniform light components, the uniformity within the irradiation area of Φ200mm is ≤ 2%, with the center area better than 1.8%, and the spectral matching degree, irradiation stability, and spatial uniformity all reach the highest level of IEC 60904-9 A+A+A +, with the measurement uncertainty reduced by 10% compared to the industry average (≤ 1.5%), far exceeding the optimal value of 1.7% for similar products. 


Smart adaptation + long-term stability, compatible with all types of photovoltaic devices 


Supporting 0.1-1.2S0 adjustable light intensity, it can precisely match the testing requirements of various high-efficiency batteries/components such as perovskite, TOPCon, HJT, and double-sided double glass; equipped with intelligent temperature control and air cooling cooling systems, with an irradiation stability of ≤ ±0.5%/h for continuous operation for 72 hours, and the lifespan of core components (xenon lamp, optical filter) exceeds 8000 hours, solving the pain points of traditional equipment "light intensity drift and frequent lamp replacement". For special scenarios such as curved vehicle-mounted photovoltaic glass, an "three-dimensional space irradiation compensation algorithm" has been innovatively developed to solve the measurement problems of inaccurate positioning and interference from reflection of curved components, filling the industry gap. 


Software and hardware collaboration, improving testing efficiency by 50% 


Deep integration with Saifan SpectraSmart spectral analysis software, achieving "light intensity calibration - IV scanning - data processing - report generation" full-process automation. It includes 100 + photovoltaic testing standard templates, supports one-click calculation of 15 core parameters such as short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and conversion efficiency, completing data preprocessing and peak analysis within milliseconds; supports seamless connection with MES systems, can be linked with digital source meters and sample tables for multi-channel synchronous testing, reducing the single batch component testing time from traditional 20 minutes to 8 minutes, with an efficiency increase of over 50%. II. Scene Empowerment: Full Coverage from Research Frontiers to Industrial Production Lines

Relying on its strong adaptability and precision, the SAVEN SS-7000 series has deeply served the entire photovoltaic industry chain, becoming a "research accelerator" and a "quality guardian": 

Efficient Battery Research: Helping to Break Through Efficiency Limits

Provided trial line testing solutions for leading enterprises such as Ningde Time and Longi Green Energy, through dynamic light regulation and transient data capture, accurately measuring the conversion efficiency and stability of the batteries, helping their new perovskite batteries approach the world's highest record; Tsinghua University and the Photovoltaic Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used it to conduct research on the photoluminescence decay mechanism of HJT batteries, with a measurement uncertainty of ≤ 1.5%, providing reliable data support for material optimization, and reducing the experimental cycle by 30%. 

Component Production Quality Control: Building a Quality Defense Line at the Factory Exit

The photovoltaic component factory of BYD used the SS-7000 series to build a fully automated testing line, conducting 100% online IV tests on N-type high-efficiency components, automatically identifying abnormal fill factors, cracks, etc., increasing the factory qualification rate of components to 99.97%, and reducing the annual loss of defective products by over 10 million yuan; for double-sided components, through dual-side synchronous lighting technology, completing the performance tests of both sides at once, avoiding secondary clamping errors, and increasing the detection efficiency by 40%. 

Cross-border Innovative Applications: Expanding the Boundaries of Photovoltaic Testing

Provided a testing solution for automotive photovoltaic glass for Fuyao Group, through a three-dimensional space irradiation compensation algorithm, accurately evaluating the power generation performance of curved components, helping to implement "mobile charging station" style photovoltaic vehicles; In the aerospace field, customized a solar sensor calibration system for the Chinese Academy of Sciences Space Center, achieving 32′ collimation angle solar simulation, with irradiation stability ≤ ±2%/h, ensuring the angle measurement accuracy of the solar sensor of the spacecraft meets the standards. 

III. Brand Endorsement: 22 Years of Accumulation, Establishing a Trustworthy Benchmark in Photovoltaic Testing

SAVEN Optics builds core competitiveness with "technological innovation + quality assurance", becoming a domestic benchmark in steady-state solar simulators:

Global Service Network: Timely Response, Uninterrupted Guarantee

Relying on the Beijing R&D Center and the Dubai Regional Headquarters, a "7×24 hour multi-language response + 4-hour local service" system was established, with 8 major service outlets across the country, providing 3-year warranty for core components, and supporting on-site calibration and customized development. A customer from a Saudi photovoltaic project feedback: "The SAVEN engineers conducted on-site debugging and optimization, the equipment adapted to the high-temperature desert environment, running continuously for 3 months without failure, and the data consistency far exceeded expectations." 

Policy Alignment: Facilitating the Implementation of the Dual Carbon Goals
