Light source selection is the most important part of solar simulator design for the simulation of sunlight and its intensity, and spectral properties of light source, illumination pattern, collimation, light flow stability and light range should be taken into account for the selection .
Today, the light sources in solar simulators are typically xenon arc lamps and LEDs. Accordingly, lamps and LEDs have a big and constant radiation spectrum and it is hard to focus on efficient spectral area, thus these light sources are hard to apply spectrally into efficient measurement systems .
LED light source solar simulators can simulate the AM 1.5 spectrum with a Class A spectral fit at a wavelength range of 350 nm-1100 nm. LED solar simulators deliver high performance in power consumption in steady and pulsed mode , .
The most important components of solar simulators used in photovoltaic panel tests are light sources. In this study, solar simulators were classified based on the light sources they use, and their history and technological development were investigated in line with the literature.
In this context, in the studies that aim to increase photovoltaic efficiency and in the tests required in the supply process of photovoltaic panels, use of solar simulators and light source selection for solar simulators have become a key point.
The Ossila Solar Simulator uses an LED array lamp due to the many attractive properties associated with these light sources. Xenon arc lamps are the most commonly used light source for solar simulators. In Xenon arc lamps, light is produced by passing an electric arc through ionized xenon gas under high pressure (10 – 40 bar).
