The Solar Panel Test Bench is a table-top module in which a Solar Panel can be installed to perform a wide variety of tests and experiments. A powerful halogen lamp is used to illuminate the solar panel under test. The dimmer knob can be set to adjust the irradiance. A ventilation system is provided in the Solar Panel Test Bench to keep the solar panel at near room temperature and study the effects of temperature. The halogen lamp and ventilation system can be turned on and off through switches mounted on the front panel of the test bench.
