In collaboration with Dr. Omar Behar, we successfully installed a newly commissioned High Flux Solar Simulator. This advanced system has the capability of generating 12 kW of thermal energy focused on a 60mm spot, resulting in an impressive heat flux of approximately 4MW/m2.

The calibration of the equipment was meticulously executed using a lambert target in conjunction with a CCD camera, followed by thorough post-processing of the captured data.

Since the setup of the system, several projects have benefited from its capabilities.
