HighLIGHT A++ Reference

Reference Light

The HighLIGHT A++ Reference is the xenon solar simulator the PV industry calibrates against. Since 2008, tier-1 laboratories worldwide have used it to define what accurate means for a solar module: A++A++A++ under IEC 60904-9, twice as good as Class A, traceable to METAS (the Swiss federal metrology institute) under ISO/IEC 17025. Designed, built and calibrated in Switzerland, it is delivered worldwide with no export-licence exposure.

The reference spectrum

A standard others are measured against.

When a result has to be defensible, for a certification body, a national lab or a gigawatt supply contract, it is compared to a reference. The HighLIGHT reference has held that role since 2008, with A++ classification across spectral match, spatial uniformity and temporal stability.

Traceability · METAS

A measurement is only as good as its chain.

Every Pasan reference is traceable to METAS, the Swiss federal metrology institute, under ISO/IEC 17025, and classified to IEC 60904-9. With the WPVS transimpedance amplifier and WPVS reference cells, the chain runs unbroken from your line back to the SI. Factory and on-site acceptance tests document it end to end.
