Sunbrick - LED solar simulator for large areas

The Class A+A+A+ Sunbrick is a large area LED solar simulator that provides sunlight replication with software controlled calibrated spectra. The Sunbrick has no fragile bulbs or moving parts and the warm-up time is significantly shorter than solar simulators with conventional bulbs. This, combined with the AM1.5G and AM0 spectra that can be reproduced at the touch of a button, means that measurements can be started very quickly.
The Sunbrick has a modular design: Certified for an illumination area of 15 cm x 15 cm, Sunbrick arrays can be tiled together to achieve A+A+A+ quality on areas of any size. Sunbrick also offers the ability to customize spectra by allowing up to 32 LED channels to be individually adjusted.

Features of the Sunbrick instrument

• A+A+A+ rated according to IEC60904-9:2020
• Spectral mismatch <9% in all spectral bins
• Temporal instability of <0.25%
• Class A spatial non-uniformity in 10 cm x 10 cm square area for single unit and between tiled units
• Fast turn on time, minimal warmup time
• Guaranteed 25,000-hour solar simulator lifetime (with LED lifetime ranging from 10,000 – 100,000 hours)
• Variable output from 0% to 150% and individual control of up to 32 LED channels through software.
• Includes LabView DLL and Python API for automation and integration
• Modular design allows tiling up to arbitrary sizes (for example, a 4-Sunbrick array (2×2) provides a 20 cm x 20 cm Class A+ area)
