Applications of solar simulation flashlamps

Xenon Corporation pioneered the application of high intensity xenon pulsed light for photovoltaic cell and module testing during the early 1980s. Xenon flashlamps and electronics were supplied to Arco Solar, an early leader in manufacturing solar modules. Xenons pulsed xenon flashlamps demonstrated their ability to solve problems of insufficient energy and high heat when a continuous (CW) light source was used. Xenon Corporation continues to be a major supplier of flashlamps to the global solar simulation industry.

Solar Simulation Flashlamps
Xenon Corporations flashlamps provide true sunlight simulation for reliable, repeatable testing of photovoltaic cells and solar modules. Custom flashlamp designs deliver optimum lighting engineered to accelerate product testing and ensure product quality in process control applications. The instant on/off capability of pulsed xenon lamps enables either single-pulse or multi-pulse applications where controlled artificial sunlight is required. Pulsed lamps also remain off until testing is performed, thereby eliminating undesired heat buildup of cells and modules while reducing energy consumption.
