Solar Test Stands

PSE plans, builds and installs high quality test stands for the testing of solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic modules. Our indoor and outdoor test products enable manufacturers and researchers to evaluate performance and reliability of thermal collectors and PV modules and accelerate product development. Our customers include testing laboratories, research institutes and collector manufacturers throughout the world.

PSE test stands provide a controlled testing environment which allows more time "on-sun", generating test results faster and with more predictability. PSE test stands are designed for ease of use, high accuracy, and high repeatability, which means:

• Researchers can evaluate new collector designs more easily
• Manufacturers can get new products to market faster 
• Testing laboratories have higher throughputs and efficiencies

PSE solar testing equipment includes a range of high quality test stands that evaluate solar collectors for performance and reliability.
Through our close cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, we have access to many years of experience as test stand users and designers. We build continuously on this experience in our development of new technologies. PSE test stands are delivered as turnkey products, with experienced PSE staff providing design, installation and operational training expertise to our customers.
