Solar simulation test

Solar simulation tests play a crucial role in assessing the durability and performance of products exposed to sunlight. Replication of solar radiation and its associated effects helps to evaluate a product’s resistance to factors such as colour fading, material degradation and thermal stress.

Solar simulation tests using the SunEvent chamber

The SunEvent climate chamber offers a comprehensive solution for simulating the combined effects of sunlight, temperature and humidity on your product. Our testing laboratory carefully evaluates all relevant parameters to ensure the best performance of your product.

Wide temperature range and humidity control

The SunEvent chamber is equipped with state-of-the-art features and offers an impressive temperature range from -70 °C up to a maximum of +120 °C. This wide range allows accurate simulation of extreme temperature conditions. In addition, the chamber provides humidity control to accurately simulate different environments. With the ability to adjust the solar radiation intensity from 400 to 1,150 W/m², this chamber allows the simulation of both indoor and outdoor test scenarios, providing a comprehensive assessment of the tested product.

Diverse applications

The SunEvent climate chamber is designed for a wide range of industries, including automotive, paint and coatings, and electronics. Whether you need to evaluate the effect of sunlight on automotive components, test the durability of coatings, assess the aging process of plastics or investigate the effect of environmental factors on electronics, our chamber provides the ideal conditions for accurate and comprehensive testing.

Accurate documentation and tailored test selection

Thanks to the S!MPATI software, our climate chamber works with real test data, ensuring accurate and reliable test procedures. To further improve the evaluation process, we offer the possibility of microscopic examination of the test sample during or after the test. In addition, in cooperation with our clients, we perform regular photo documentation of the test, which allows accurate identification of any changes that occur during testing.

Accredited test reports in multiple languages

We provide accredited reports in both Czech and your chosen language after the test. These reports capture essential information about the test process, observations and results, ensuring transparency and facilitating decision-making.

Flexible test programming

Our climatic chamber software offers remarkable flexibility, allowing you to precisely program test procedures to your specific requirements. As a result, tests are performed accurately and within the required parameters.

Selection of tailored tests

We understand that it is important to identify specific errors and imperfections. We work with our clients to select the most appropriate tests to meet their requirements. By tailoring the test selection process, we ensure that the selected tests effectively identify potential bugs, leading to a solution.
