Solixon steady-state solar simulators seamlessly combine the characterization and aging of various solar cells. Available with active areas ranging from 220 x 220 mm to a remarkable 4 x 4 m, they all adhere to class AAA standards.

The Sun as a Service

Life Engine™

Experience the Future with Sun as a Service!

Life Engine™ faithfully replicates the complete solar spectrum, encompassing UVA+B, Visible, Infrared, and Far-Infrared wavelengths. Achieve significant energy savings of 33% compared to HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) and 25% compared to LEDs.

Life Engine™ unlocks the full potential of your plants, increasing the concentration of active molecules, antioxidants, vitamins, and aromatics. Thanks to the inclusion of UVB light (280-320nm), your plants' immune systems thrive, just as they do under natural sunlight.

Rent the power of the sun to maximize your profits and streamline the transition into the future.

We mimic the sun like no other

Full Sun Spectrum

The spectrum generated by Lumartix plasma lamps encompasses all wavelengths, maintaining a consistent energy distribution without any gaps. Our lamps effectively cover the UV range from 280 to 350 nm, ensuring sustained light emission over time—a feat that other technologies struggle to achieve within a competitive energy and price range.

We build a world where technologies using sunlight are the major contributors.
