Each unit includes an integrated single-phase power supply with a touch screen interface that requires 220VAC. Systems can be operated remotely through Sciencetech PowerControl software. C++/ Python control is possible with an additional SciencetechCOM module. Labview control is possible with additional SciAX module.
In certain applications a single LASI may be used on its own. However, LASIs are best used in arrays of multiple units, as the optical performance improves when the light from multiple units overlaps.
LASI units have a mounting flange but do not include a stand to hold the LASI unit. LASI units are intended to operate vertically facing downwards.
Sciencetech’s large solar simulation systems could be incorporated into wind tunnels and climatic chambers used in the automotive and railway industries as well as the military and aerospace industry, reproducing the sun irradiance according to:
ASTM E927 – Specification for Solar Simulation for Photovoltaic Testing
IEC 60904-9 – Solar Simulator Performance Requirements
JIS C 8912 – Solar Simulators for Crystalline Solar Cells and Modules
These systems comply with the requirements of the following standards:
IEC 61215 – Crystalline Silicon Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
IEC 61646 – Thin Film Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
These systems also meet the US Military Standard MIL-STD810
