High Flux Solar Simulator


Sciencetech's High Flux Solar Simulators (HFSS) systems are used for a variety of applications that require intense and controlled light conditions. They are essential in developing and testing solar receivers and reactors, which are used in concentrating solar power (CSP) systems to convert sunlight into thermal energy.

These simulators are also used to test thermal energy storage systems, which store heat for later use, ensuring they can effectively capture and release energy under different conditions.

Additionally, HFSS are employed in materials science to study the behavior of materials under high-temperature and high-radiative flux conditions.


They are also used in aerospace to test thermal protection systems for space vehicles, ensuring these materials can withstand the extreme conditions of space travel.


By providing a stable and repeatable light source, HFSS enable researchers to conduct experiments without the variability caused by natural sunlight, leading to more accurate and reliable results.

Filter Option



The SLP series of solar simulators are a highly flexible, highly customizable design that utilizes a light pipe to homogenize the beam. Available in AM0 or AM1.5G spectral matches as standard (select at the time of ordering), this system can be configured for additional spectral filtering, including custom filters.

The COL variations focus on high collimation, the HOM variations on best spatial non-uniformity, the HF variations on high irradiance, and the LA variations on the most efficient large-area coverage. Each version can be modified to balance the most critical features. Please contact our sales team for more information about modifications and accessories.
