OAI’s Flash Solar Power Meter is a versatile measurement tool used for measuring the irradiance (in Suns) from Flash Solar Simulators. Flash Solar Simulators are commonly used in the production of solar panels. Integrated into the solar cell production line, this meter calibrates the flash solar simulator allowing for constant and repeatable irradiance output. By sampling at speeds up to 4000 Hz, the flash pulse temporal profile can be recorded in the meter’s memory and downloaded to a USB 2.0 port on a PC for further analysis.
With this small, portable, battery powered meter, numerous production flash solar simulators can be tested and compared in a short amount of time, leading to greater production line consistency and throughput. OAI offers the Flash Power Meter configured with a calibrated solar reference cell, which is equipped with a thermocouple. The assembly is manufactured in accordance with IEC – 60904 -2. Certification is by NIST to the ISO-17025 standard and is traceable to National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). Other OAI solar products include: a full portfolio of Solar Simulators, I -V Testers, and Test Fixtures. All products are supported by OAI’s global service and application engineering network.
