What are the specific application scenarios of solar simulators in different industries?

2025-08-05 Clicks:349

Photovoltaic industry

R&d end: It is used for the photoelectric performance testing of new photovoltaic materials (such as perovskite, TOPCon). By precisely simulating standard spectra like AM1.5G, it studies the light absorption, conversion efficiency and other characteristics of the materials in different bands, facilitating the research and development of high-efficiency batteries. For instance, a team from a certain university captured the special response of perovskite solar cells in the 780nm band with the help of equipment, accelerating the breakthrough in efficiency.

Production end: As the core equipment for mass production quality inspection of photovoltaic modules, it can quickly detect parameters such as the efficiency and attenuation rate of solar cells. A leading enterprise has used it to achieve a detection speed of 60 pieces per minute, increasing the rate of A-grade products from 88% to 93% and reducing the loss of defective products.

Aerospace field

Material testing: Simulate the AM0 spectrum and extreme low-temperature environment in space to conduct radiation resistance and weather resistance tests on the outer protective materials of spacecraft, solar cell wings, etc. The China Academy of Space Technology used it to test the protective materials for the space station and screened out a new type of composite material with a service life three times longer.

Equipment verification: Verify the performance of the spacecraft power system under space light, ensure stable power supply for solar cells and other equipment in complex space environments, and provide data support for manned space projects and others.

Agricultural planting

Flower cultivation: By customizing the spectrum (adjusting the ratio of blue light to red light and the intensity of ultraviolet light), optimize the growth conditions of flowers. The high-end flower base in Yunnan uses it to cultivate blue roses, increasing the anthocyanin content by 22% and extending the flowering period by 7 days, achieving a market premium.

Fruit and vegetable cultivation: Customized lighting plans are provided for crops such as strawberries and tomatoes to regulate their growth cycle, quality and yield. The Shandong Strawberry Cooperative has increased the sweetness of strawberries by 2 degrees with the help of equipment, raising the yield per mu by 150 kilograms and advancing the maturity period by 10 days.

The automotive industry

Sensor testing: Build a library of extreme lighting scenarios (such as tunnel glare and heavy rain backlighting), and test the response performance of sensors such as autonomous driving cameras and lidars. A certain car manufacturer thereby discovered the problem of sensor response delay and optimized it, reducing the delay from 50 milliseconds to 10 milliseconds.

Material and component testing: Simulate light conditions in different regions to test the light transmittance of on-board photovoltaic glass, the aging resistance of automotive exterior parts, etc. Optimize material selection and design to increase on-board power generation (by 18% in one case) and component durability.

The field of environmental protection

Photocatalytic research: Providing stable light sources for experiments such as water splitting for hydrogen production and pollutant degradation, and studying the activity of catalysts under different light conditions. A certain environmental research institute used it to conduct a 1,000-hour long-term experiment to obtain linear data on the kinetics of pollutant degradation, contributing to breakthroughs in environmental protection technology.
