Product Description

LC-SPV-ST-2525 Space PV Module Stability Test System is a turnkey laboratory solution that brings the critical elements of outer-space photovoltaic testing into one compact, highly integrated cabinet: Class A AM0 LED solar simulation, an ultra-wide temperature precision thermal stage, multi-channel electrical measurement, and intelligent automation software. It is designed for advanced space PV technologies such as GaInP₂/GaAs/Ge triple-junction cells and perovskite/silicon tandem cells, supporting device screening, long-term stability evaluation, and qualification-style verification. 

Traditional space PV test benches often suffer from scattered instruments, complex cabling, unstable interfaces, and time-consuming setup. LC-SPV-ST-2525 addresses these pain points through a plug-and-play cabinet architecture, improving test repeatability and lab efficiency, while reducing wiring errors and daily maintenance workload. 

To simulate the “space environment” in the most essential dimensions, the system combines:

  • AM0 spectral fidelity (for extraterrestrial irradiance conditions)

  • Extreme thermal cycling capability (for eclipse / sunlight transition conditions)

  • High-precision electrical characterization (for I-V / MPPT and degradation tracking)

  • Automation & data integrity (for long-duration and unattended experiments)

  • 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.
