Angstrom Designs’ Programmable LED Solar Simulator (pLEDss) Pre-budgetary Quote Questionnaire

To begin a requirements discussion, please answer as many questions as you can to the best of your ability.

A full, turn-key pLEDss system includes LED Heads, Mechanization Frame, Peripheral Controller and SMU/SMU support. The system ships with factory calibration that allows the user to tune the spectral output of the solar simulator. Additionally, the software supports automated user calibrations that tune spectral and spatial irradiance against a reference solar cell. It is common to use balloon-flown isotypes when testing multi-junction cells. With user calibration, pLEDss has the highest performance in the industry.

Should you require less than best-in-class performance or fewer components, please let us know. Please feel free to add any additional questions or comments.

1. LED Modules:

a. What solar cell technologies are you interested in? How many junctions?

b. Do you need continuous / pulsed operation or pulsed-only?

c. What is the length and width (or diameter) of the illuminated area?

d. What spectra is of interest to you? AM0? AM1.5?

e. What power levels are of interest to you? AM0? AM1.5? Low Intensity?

f. What performance metrics are of interest to you? AIAA? Class A+AA? Class AAA? Class BBB?

2. Mechanization Frame:

a. Do you need a frame to support the LED modules? (For a turn-key pLEDss: 'yes')

b. Do you need the frame to move calibration standards within the light beam? (For a turn-key pLEDss: 'yes')

c. Device under Test (DUT) orientation: horizontal? vertical?

3. Peripheral controller:

a. Do you need a peripheral controller to multiplex between standards and DUTs and measure cell temperatures? (For a turn-key pLEDss: 'yes')

4. SMU:

a. Do you need SMU software support to make IV measures? (For a turn-key pLEDss: 'yes')

5. Software & Operations:

a. Will the system be running 24 hours per day, 7 days per week? If so, what is expected time between tests?

6. Other:

a. What is the need date for your system delivery? For your testing?

b. How did you find out about us? A colleague? Conference talk? Tech article? Web search?
