This paper proposes the development of a
solar simulator in the parameterization of photovoltaic
(PV) modules, employing Light Emitting Diodes (LED) as
a light source, with its wavelength very similar to the Sun
spectrum. The whole system was built with five types of
LEDs, with different wavelengths, in order to emulate the
sun spectrum absorbed by silicon PV cells. The LEDs can
be activated independently, as well as its intensity,
making it possible to create different irradiance profiles.
The experimental results showed good approximation
between the standard IxV curve and the solar simulator
curve
