Artificial light source simulating the solar spectrum for testing solar panels

Abstract: This work is devoted to the development of a combined source of artificial lighting to study the characteristics of solar cells. Spectral analysis of various radiation sources is performed. Based on the analysis, the necessary radiation sources are selected, which total spectrum, after approximation, is close to the spectrum of solar radiation. The calculation of electrooptical characteristics is carried out. The number of artificial lighting sources needed to reproduce the spectrum of solar radiation is calculated. The corresponding conclusions are made.

Keywords: solar spectrum, imitation of solar radiation, solar panels
