SPIRE Temperature Controlled PV Laboratory solar Flasher
The SPIRE Spire Temperature Controlled PV Laboratory solar Flasher is the most accurate PV lab solar simulator for power determination, temperature coefficients and energy rating regarding PV modules. The solution allows you to do determine temperature coefficients according to IEC 61215 and Energy ratings according to IEC 61853.
SPIRE Temperature Controlled Lab Flasher
With the TCLF, RnD and certification labs can perform:
- Accurate power determination of all new high efficiency modules
- Testing bifacial PV modules
- Accurate measurements of temperature coefficients
- Accurate determination of energy rating
The Temperature Controlled Lab Flasher (TCLF) consists of A+A+A+ Xenon Single Long Pulse Spire solar simulator and temperature-controlled chamber. The Spire lab flasher provides superior measurement accuracy and precision for critical module performance measurements.
The system delivers a Class A+ 300nm-1200nm spectrum (SPC >99%) in addition to Class A + uniformity and temporal stability in combination with a measurement repeatability of ≤ 0.15%.
The solar simulator’s unique feature of 230ms single pulse duration supports maximum module power determination of high-efficiency silicon, thin-film, PERC, HIT and multi-junction modules that exhibit internal capacitance effects.
The add-on temperature control chamber enables accurate temperature-related tests. The chamber’s temperature range is 10-85C and temperature uniformity± 1C.
The chamber can be added to existing Spire flashers.

Decrease measurement uncertainty of temperature coefficients
The superior light quality and extremely stable & uniform temperature control decrease measurement uncertainty by half, compared to traditional testing setups.
Testing according to International standards
-
IEC 61215: 2016Photovoltaic (PV) module Design qualification and type approval
-
IEC 61853-1: 2011Energy Rating - Irradiance and temperature performance measurements and power rating (power matrix)
What sets the Temperature Controlled Lab Flasher apart?
-
Xenon Single Long Pulse up to 230ms
Accurately measure high capacitive PV modules such as PERC, HIT, IBC etc. without the need of software correction
