Solar Panel Testing Chamber

CSZ designs and manufactures solar panel testing chambers for testing various size photovoltaic modules and solar panels. These chambers are designed to meet common solar panel test specifications for IEC, UL and ASTM for temperature cycling test, damp heat test and humidity freeze tests.

CSZ’s solar panel testing chambers aid in qualifying that modules can withstand the thermal stress caused by repeated changes in high and low temperatures along with exposure to high humidity. Unique air flow design and distribution ensures precise air flow required for solar panel testing.

All CSZ chambers include the EZT-570i Touch Screen Controller with data logging, data file access via memory stick or PC, Ethernet control and monitoring, alarm notification via email or phone text message, data file backup system, full system security, online help & voice assistance in multiple languages and more.

Walk-In Chambers & Rooms

CSZ also provides a full range of environmental rooms and walk-in chambers for testing solar panels. Walk-in chambers are ideal for testing larger volumes of solar panels along with a variety of different size panels. These chambers may be designed to fit your specific requirements. Dedicated 85°C/85% RH chambers are designed specially for long term damp heat tests.

Modular Walk-In chambers offer flexibility to meet virtually any size or configuration by using pre-fabricated panels. These chambers are offered in temperature ranges from -68°C to 93°C (-90°F to 200°F) and humidity from 10% to 95% RH.

Welded Walk-In chambers provide wider temperature and humidity ranges. These welded walk-in chambers consist of one solid piece, simplifying installation. These chambers are available in temperature ranges from -68°C to 190°C (-90°F to 375°F) and humidity from 10% to 95% RH.
