The University of Alberta is seeking a high-flux solar simulator capable of delivering solar flux levels between 10 kW/m² and 1000 kW/m² with precise diameter control accurate to within ±1 mm, a capability uniquely offered by ScienceTech Inc. and not available from any other commercial supplier. The system must be configured in a vertical orientation and designed for vertical movement to accommodate the specific experimental needs of the research program focused on volumetric solar thermal receivers. All other commercially available solar simulators fall significantly short, providing maximum flux levels of only up to 1 kW/m², rendering them inadequate for studying the interactions between high-intensity solar radiation and materials. The Principal Investigator has confirmed through direct consultation that ScienceTech Inc. is the only vendor capable of fulfilling these specialized requirements, and attempts to identify alternative suppliers have consistently confirmed that standard models lack the necessary performance thresholds. The contract solicitation, identified as AB-2026-04185, was posted on June 3, 2026, with a response deadline of June 10, 2026, and is managed by Paul Wain, the Contracting Authority at the University of Alberta.

Full Description

Show more
Currently, there is no other commercially available high-flux solar simulator that has the board flux concentration range (10 kW/m2 to 1000 kW/m2} or the precise flux diameter control(+/- 1 mm) that is offered by ScienceTech Inc. Moreover, the system needs to be installed in a vertical configuration and should be capable of moving up and down. The Principal Investigator has confirmed with Sciencetech. Only Sciencetech can meet the unique requirements for the project on volumetric solar thermal receivers. Other products sold as "solar simulators" offer low-level flux up to 1 kW/m2 and cannot be deployed to study interactions between high-flux solar radiation and matter. The Principal Investigator contacted multiple potential suppliers who confirmed that their standard simulator models lack the necessary capabilities for the proposed research program.
