6 Solar Simulation Systems Whatever the climate or condition, Atlas designs solar chambers for environmental testing of photovoltaic and solar thermal related products. From our small and medium chambers to our customized systems, Atlas Solar Simulation Systems are designed to elicit environmental durability effects, define light-induced defects and measure performance characteristics. Custom tests can also be designed to meet your specific needs. SolarCellTest 575/SolarTest 1200 Portable laboratory devices that test small-sized samples, they supply a spectral distribution similar to the global radiation at air mass 1.5. Components include: Radiation Unit Consists of a radiation source, reflector system and filter system. The 575 or 1200 W metal halide lamp works in tandem with the reflector and filter to produce high irradiance levels with uniform distribution. SolarCellTest 575 Electronic Power Supply It is an EPS-module which supplies the radiation source with square wave current and keeps the output setting constant. It provides an individual intensity control between %. SolarTest

7 Custom Solar Simulation Systems Specially designed to match the requirements of tests with solar radiation, and configurable according to any specified panel surface size, SolarConstant technology accurately reproduces the Global Radiation or UV spectrum of sunlight. The SolarConstant System is available in several sizes and features components that include: Radiation Unit A combination of a metal halide lamp, reflector and filter, the SolarConstant offers high irradiance efficiency and a superior spatial uniformity. Electronic Power Supply To achieve optimal performance, the EPS drives the lamp with square-wave current. This reduces the modulation of the radiation to less than +/- 1% offering a nearly steady light as given by natural solar radiation. Furthermore, the EPS controls the intensity and offers a stabilized power output, even when incoming power varies. The EPS provides optimal operation conditions for the metal halide lamps resulting in extended lamp lifetime. Custom solar simulation system using SolarConstant 1200 luminairies Control System Depending on the configuration of the solar simulation system, the control layout may vary from a simple manual touch screen control to a more sophisticated, though user-friendly, computer control such as the proprietary SolarSoft software. Positioning System If required by specific test setups, the positioning system enables either a manual or a motorized movement of the solar array. This movement easily adapts to different angles and height configurations or to simulate natural solar day cycles. Custom solar simulation system using SolarConstant 4000 luminairies 7

8 UV Pre-conditioning Custom Systems Atlas has developed the XenoCal Solar sensor to provide user-friendly, precise measurement and calibration exclusively for UV Pre-conditioning of PV modules. Atlas provides custom designed high ultraviolet radiation solutions that can meet the requirements for both crystalline silicon module and thin-film module qualification testing. By using the SolarConstant UV650 or the SolarConstant UV1000 Luminary units, the respective spectral band energy and total energy requirements for up to five sun UV levels can be met. By providing multi-sun levels, tests can be accomplished in less time improving test sample throughput. The custom designed SolarConstant UV650 and UV1000 systems provide full compliance for UV Pre-conditioning tests according to IEC and IEC , assuring that the panel under test accumulates the correct energy distribution and energy amount for uniform exposure and reliable tests results. XenoCal Solar Sensor XenoCal technology has been widely used in weathering instruments to measure, control, and calibrate irradiance. Based on this proven technology, Atlas has developed the XenoCal Solar sensor with the following features: + User-friendly, precise measurement and calibration exclusively for UV Pre-conditioning, as specified in IEC testing standards for crystalline (IEC 61215) and thin-film (IEC 61646) PV modules + Water-tight with the ability to operate in environments up to 70 C + Interfacing capabilities for exporting data to be used with our XENOSOFT software + A variety of pre-programmed, commonly-used light sources can be selected from a menu. Up to 10 additional spectral correction factors for specific light sources can be programmed UV650/1000 Luminary XenoCal Solar Sensor 8

The patented mirror system has very high reflectance in the UV and near visible wavelength ranges while attenuating reflectance in the longer wavelength visible and IR portions of the solar spectrum. This allows for very high concentrations of UV energy without excessive heating of test samples. Using multiple focusing mirrors arranged on the curve of a 10 meter sphere, the UV energy may be variably concentrated on a target area approximately 10 cm X 10 cm. Custom mounting and cooling can be added depending upon specific material exposure requirements. Optically the mirror system has a direct normal 100:1 concentration factor and can provide 63 years of South Florida ultraviolet radiation in a single year. Ultra-Accelerated Weathering System 11
