a commercial illumination design
software, we construct two solar simulators having light
characteristic conforming to the solar simulator Class C
of the Australian Standard AS 2915-1987 for solar cells
testing. One simulator incorporates quartz tungsten
halogen lamps and is used to measure static
parameters of two types of monocrystalline silicon
modules. The other simulator uses super bright light
emitting diodes and is used in determining the IV
characteristic of a monocrystalline silicon solar cell.
