| Feature | G2V Sunbrick LED Solar Simulator | SciSun Solar Simulator, AM1.5G, Class AAA, 50 × 50 mm Xenon Solar Simulator | Questions To Ask Yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Area of Illumination | 15 cm × 15 cm | Will my Device Under Test (DUT) increase in size as my research progresses? | |
| Spectral Range | 350 nm – 1200 nm | ||
| Spectral Control | 32 tunable channels | Will I need to simulate AM1.5G, AM0, or custom conditions? | |
| IEC 60904-9 Compliance | Class A+A+A+ | Do I need certified, high-accuracy performance across all IEC categories? What problems will I have with lower Class uniformity performance? | |
| Spectral Coverage | <25% | ||
| Spectral Deviation | <25% | How closely does the spectrum need to match real sunlight for my application? | |
| Spectral Match | < ±12.5% | How much spectral mismatch can my application tolerate before it affects measurement accuracy or material performance? | |
| Long-Term Temporal Stability | <2% | How sensitive are my experiments to light stability over time? | |
| Spatial Uniformity | <1% | Do I need consistent irradiance over the full sample surface? Could spatial variation compromise my data? | |
| Lifetime | 10,000+ hours | How much downtime or recurring cost can I afford? What are the cost of bulb replacements? How many bulbs per year will I need? | |
| Software & API | GUI + Python API | Will I need automation, scripting, or lab instrument integration? Will I need to run scripts across multiple instruments? | |
| Maintenance | No consumables; minimal maintenance | How much downtime or recurring cost can I afford? What are the cost of bulb replacements? How many bulbs per year will I need? | |
| Price Point | ~$56.00/cm² (Class A+A+A+ over 225 cm²) | Does the price reflect full system capability and long-term value? Will I need to upgrade or maintain later? |

Top-tier labs in aerospace, photovoltaics, and materials science are turning to the G2V Sunbrick because they need more than just light; they need control. In research where a 2% deviation can invalidate months of work, bulky Xenon systems with drifting spectra and manual control don’t cut it.
Whether you’re:
Validating next-gen solar cell performance
Simulating real-world solar conditions across custom spectra
Or automating precise, long-duration optical tests
The Sunbrick delivers Engineered Sunlight™ without the optical benches, bulb changes, or setup headaches. Just stable, repeatable, programmable light. Wherever and whenever you need it.
Finding a consistent format of information comparing solar simulators and other alternatives isn’t easy. Our articles are designed to consolidate the information and keep you from needing to explore endless pages of search results
