SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 Specially designed for solar simulation Features l Global solar radiation according to CIE85 l Optical filters for indoor and outdoor simulations l Meets global standards DIN, IEC, EPA, MIL and other l Wide, symmetric beam angle for high-uniformity solutions l Modular design for customized solar systems of any size SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 unit ideal for solar simulators of any size. Special reflectors guarantee high uniformity on the target area. For each new custom design, Atlas will determine by means of professional simulation both the lowest number of required SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 units and the ideal positioning. 10x SolarConstant MHG 4000 for 1000 W/m2 (± 5%) on target zone 4 m x 2 m Sunlight can have adverse effects on materials, initiating and accelerating the degradation process as it interacts with temperature, moisture and other environmental effects. A key to the success of solar environmental test equipment is the quality of the solar simulation itself. Key criteria for high quality are a realistic light spectrum as well as optimum uniformity on the target object. The SolarConstant Series offers luminaires based on metal halide global (MHG) technology for high-class solar simulators. The modular design combined with high power makes the Light Distribution Curve SolarConstant MHG 4000 horizontal vertical SolarConstant MHG 4000/2500 are often used for solar simulators integrated into climatic chambers. The tool of choice to determine thermal heating effects of solar radiation, such as fit and finish, dimensional stability or thermal transmission. Further to identify photodegradation effects of polymers and coatings such as change of color, gloss, haptics or physical strength. Further, testing PV module performance.
