Solar Energy is one of the clean new energy fuels. Nowadays energy sources like petrol and coal become less and less, faced with a possibility of scarce oil resources, so those new energy sources like wind, tide and solar energy become more and more popular. Most manufactures and solar energy research centers try to design and develop the solar energy facilities with high quality and efficiency, but the weather problems always impact their outdoor testing. So the solar simulator has been invented for testing indoor instead of outdoor when meet the poor weather without sunshine. Solar simulator is mainly made up of solar lamps, which have close spectral distribution, color temperature and luminance intensity to natural Sun. In this project, most of the popular solar lamps and its relative equipments would be investigated and purchase one of the type from Swedish suppliers. After the solar simulator installed in SERC Laboratory, several experiments would be test (Basic on PV panel, Thermal collect system, Solar cooker), and also test those experiments outdoor, compare those experiments, make evaluation and give suggestion of development with those lab-work for future study of SERC. For the measurements, the PV test got worse results than outdoor, thermal collector and solar cooker both got better results than outdoor (detail in Report and Discussion part) Also the radiation distributions have been test for the SERC solar simulator, the simulator operated with stable radiation source but the radiation got uneven value (the radiation got strong where close to the centre of illuminated surface and weak where far away from the centre).
