Solar load simulators

Energy House 2 (EH2) is a large-scale building physics test laboratory to be built at the University of Salford, Manchester. The project Is part funded by the ERDF. The construction will begin in summer 2020 with the construction period set to last 12 months. The project builds on the successful Energy House project :(https://www.salford.ac.uk/built-environment/laboratories-and-studios/energyhouse ). A video of the project can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP3bsXeQKYU EH2 will be a unique facility and one of most advanced building test facilities on the planet. It has the following features: • 2 large chambers capable of having 2 family homes built in each one (4 homes in total) • Temperature controlled to within 0.5 °C from -20°C to +40 °C • Wind, rain, solar radiation and snow can be generated • These conditions provide testing facilities for housing covering 95% of the global population. The Energy House 2 Project has a requirement to replicate Solar PV DC input into invertors that are inside the test houses. These should be able to simulate the peak load from a 3.89 kWp System. We are not looking to replicate solar lights to test panels, just to generate the DC input to the invertor. We require 2 units.
