Solar Panel Testing Chamber
With the ever increasing concern of global warming and lower
energy costs, there is a growing need for alternative energy
that is both clean and affordable. Solar Energy is one alternative
that uses Photovoltaic (PV) modules to generate energy. These
modules are exposed to severe environmental temperature and
humidity extremes throughout the life of the product.
CSZ designs and manufactures solar panel testing chambers
specially 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.
See a general overview
of common solar panel test specifications that require
the use of environmental testing. Outlined are the test conditions
related to our test chambers. 
All CSZ chambers include the EZT-560i
Touch Screen Controller with data logging, data file access
with USB compatible memory stick, Ethernet control and monitoring,
alarm notification via email or phone text message, data file
backup system, full system security 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.
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 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 and humidity
from 10% to 95% RH.
