One-Stop Solution for Space Environment Testing Equipment

Integrated solution for full space environment simulation. Covers AM0, vacuum, UV, vibration, and atomic oxygen. Built for perovskite, tandem, and space PV evaluation. Modular systems support precise and scalable test workflows.

    Product Description

    The One-Stop Solution for Space Environment Testing Equipment is a comprehensive testing platform developed for the research, validation, and reliability evaluation of perovskite solar cells, tandem solar cells, and advanced space photovoltaic technologies. Instead of relying on isolated instruments from multiple suppliers, this solution integrates the major test capabilities required for space photovoltaic development into one coordinated equipment portfolio, including AM0 steady-state testing, vibration testing, atomic oxygen simulation, UV aging, and EQE quantum efficiency analysis.

    This integrated solution is designed to help research institutes, aerospace laboratories, and photovoltaic developers build a more complete and efficient verification workflow. It enables users to simulate critical space-related stress factors such as extraterrestrial illumination, high vacuum, atomic oxygen exposure, ultraviolet aging, temperature cycling, and launch vibration, while maintaining traceable and high-precision electrical and optical measurements.

    For next-generation photovoltaic technologies, especially perovskite and tandem architectures, traditional terrestrial testing is often not enough. Device developers need a more specialized space-environment platform that can evaluate stability, degradation, spectral response, and structural reliability under combined stress conditions. This one-stop solution is built specifically to meet that demand, reducing system integration complexity and improving testing efficiency across the full R&D and validation cycle.

    • How long does it take from equipment ordering to official production when cooperating with Locsen?

      The overall timeline varies depending on equipment specifications and production line scale. For standalone equipment, standard models require a 45-day manufacturing cycle, with total duration (including shipping and installation) of approximately 60 days. Customized equipment requires an additional 30 days based on technical requirements. For complete line solutions: • 100MW-level production lines require ~4 months for planning, equipment manufacturing, installation, and commissioning • GW-level production lines require ~8 months We provide detailed project schedules with dedicated managers ensuring seamless coordination. Example: A client's 1GW perovskite production line was completed 15 days ahead of schedule through parallel equipment manufacturing and facility construction.
