During the NCPRE Phase 1, the first flash I-V simulator SPIRE SLP5600 was acquired by NCPRE. It was then the best-in-class simulator, and has been in service for 13 years. It was successfully used by NCPRE to study the performance of various modules through the years. However, in recent years, the physical dimensions of the PV modules have been increasing. This made it impossible to measure the I-V curves of these modules on the older sun simulator. Thanks to the funding provided by MNRE in NCPRE Phase 3, NCPRE has acquired a state-of-the-art sun simulator from Pasan, Model HighLIGHT SMT Lab 4.8. This sun simulator can easily and accurately measure the largest conceivable modules (e.g. those with area 3.5 m²) by the PV industry in the years to come. Moreover, small single cell coupons can also be measured just as effectively in the new equipment, making it ideal for research as well as industrial use. Pasan has provided a proprietary Dragonback method for the accurate measurement of the I-V curve of high capacitance modules such as HJT / TOPCon. Since this sun simulator can be calibrated using WPS reference cells (and not large area reference modules), lower uncertainty in the measurements can be achieved. NCPRE has also acquired the capability of Incident Angle Modifier (IAM) along with the sun simulator. This would enable accurate characterization of various coatings on the front glass of PV modules such as anti-reflection / anti-soiling coatings. The installation and commissioning of the new flash tester was completed at NCPRE under the overall direction of Prof. Narendra Shiradkar in March 2025. It is expected that the equipment will be an important asset for studying module performance by NCPRE researchers as well as others in India.
