Solar Array Simulators

Engineered for spacecraft and advanced PV testing, AMETEK Programmable Power’s ASPS Series accurately emulates real‑world photovoltaic I‑V behaviour to validate satellite PCDUs, MPPT algorithms, and mission‑critical electronics. With ultra‑fast transient response, peak power tracking, and robust protections, they replicate conditions like eclipse, shading, and end‑of‑life operation—accelerating design, verification, and production testing.

Built for high‑performance R&D and production, these DSP‑controlled systems offer full remote operation via SCPI over Ethernet and an intuitive touchscreen UI. Features like active PFC, fault logging, self‑test, and flexible programming ensure reliable, repeatable results and seamless integration into automated test stands. Their flexibility and precision make them ideal for advancing development in solar, microgrid, and renewable energy applications.
