A solar simulator is a long-lived capital instrument: it has to be delivered on schedule, kept in spares, and recalibrated for a decade or more. As global trade in measurement and manufacturing equipment has become less predictable, where a system is made, and how dependably it can be shipped and serviced, has become a real part of the buying decision, not an afterthought.
Swiss origin, end to end
Every Pasan simulator is designed, manufactured and calibrated in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The same site that engineers the instrument also maintains its traceability to METAS, the Swiss federal metrology institute, under ISO/IEC 17025. There is no hand-off to a separate region for assembly or calibration, which keeps both quality and accountability in one place.
Supply-secure by design
Pasan delivers worldwide from a European supply chain with no export-licence exposure and no single-region dependency for critical parts. For a buyer, that means an order is unlikely to be caught by a trade measure outside its control, and that spare parts and recalibration remain available for the life of the instrument regardless of shifting trade conditions.
Supported where you are
Swiss origin does not mean Swiss-only support. Pasan maintains sales and service partners across the major PV manufacturing and research regions, so installation, calibration and maintenance happen close to your site while the engineering and metrology stay anchored in Switzerland.
Within the wider Avalon ST group, the same supply-secure model extends from Pasan's xenon references to Avalon's LED platforms and the Mobile Lab, so a multi-site programme can standardise on one supplier without taking on geopolitical supply risk.
Frequently asked questions
- Where are Pasan solar simulators made?
- Every Pasan simulator is designed, manufactured and calibrated in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with traceability maintained to METAS, the Swiss federal metrology institute, under ISO/IEC 17025.
- What does supply-secure mean for a solar simulator order?
- It means delivery from a European supply chain with no export-licence exposure and no single-region dependency, so the order, spare parts and recalibration stay available for the life of the instrument regardless of changing trade conditions.
- Can a Swiss-made simulator be supported outside Europe?
- Yes. Pasan maintains sales and service partners across the major PV manufacturing and research regions, so installation, calibration and maintenance happen near your site while engineering and metrology stay in Switzerland.
