Measurement of spectral match and spatial non-uniformity for indoor solar simulator

This paper presents a study on the measurement of spectral match and spatial non-uniformity of the indoor solar simulator available in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). This indoor solar simulator which was successfully fabricated at the Applied Solar Energy Laboratory (ASEL) had used the...
