“Module manufacturers understand that module revenues, sold on a per-watt basis, suffer from inaccurate power measurements from less accurate test equipment. Spire simulators’ demonstrated accuracy and reliability have been proven around the world, and make it one of the most popular simulator series in China,” said Mr. Rodger W. LaFavre, President and CEO of Spire Corporation.

Spire also noted that it had recently received additional orders for multiple solar simulators that would be shipped during the coming several months.
