How JULABO Enables Precise Temperature Control for Solar Technology Research
11/21/2025
As the world accelerates toward renewable energy solutions, solar technology stands at the forefront of the transition. From photovoltaic cells to thermal energy storage systems, research and development in solar technology require precise, reliable temperature control. That’s where JULABO steps in - offering a full range of liquid temperature control equipment designed to meet the rigorous demands of solar innovation.
Temperature control for solar research and material testing
Solar R&D involves extensive testing under controlled thermal conditions. For instance, simulating diurnal cycles, studying material responses to prolonged heat exposure, or optimizing the thermal transfer fluids in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems all demand accurate temperature regulation.
JULABO’s temperature control units, including refrigerated/heating circulators, dynamic temperature control systems, and recirculating chillers, provide unparalleled stability and responsiveness across broad temperature ranges – from -93 °C up to +400 °C. This versatility is essential for researchers and engineers working on everything from CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) R&D studies or solar cell production, photovoltaic efficiency studies to durability testing of solar panel components.
JULABO solutions for photovoltaic and solar thermal testing
These closed-loop systems offer rapid temperature changes and pinpoint accuracy, ideal for temperature control of a CVD process, simulating fluctuating outdoor conditions or fine-tuning the performance of heat transfer fluids in CSP testing.
These circulators combine reliability and user-friendly interfaces, making them a staple in laboratory environments. Their wide temperature range and programmable settings help streamline solar-related material tests and component evaluations.
These energy-efficient chillers deliver strong cooling performance in compact setups, ensuring reliable heat removal and stable conditions during long-duration solar-related tests.
Investing in JULABO equipment provides solar labs with:
- Energy-efficient systems that align with sustainability goals
- Global service and support, including remote diagnostics and setup assistance
- Modular and scalable solutions to grow alongside evolving research needs
Whether you’re conducting fundamental solar cell research or developing cutting-edge thermal storage materials, JULABO provides the temperature control backbone that drives reliable, innovative results.
Why solar innovators choose JULABO
The solar technology market is deeply research-driven, and performance data is only as good as the environment in which it’s collected. JULABO products ensure repeatable results by eliminating thermal variables, enabling more precise testing and faster product development. By providing stable, application-specific temperature control across a wide range of test conditions, JULABO helps engineers validate designs with confidence and scale innovations from lab to field. This reliability not only accelerates time-to-market, but also supports long-term performance and durability assessments essential for solar projects.
Partnering with the solar industry for a more sustainable future
As solar technology continues to shape a cleaner energy landscape, JULABO remains committed to supporting the industry with the most advanced thermal control solutions available. Precision. Performance. Partnership. That’s the JULABO promise - to solar pioneers and to the planet.
To live up to this promise, JULABO generates part of its electricity on site with its own photovoltaic system at the Seelbach headquarters and sources the remaining demand entirely from ecological energy providers. At the Lahr production site, the building’s energy concept goes even further and generates more energy than it consumes, supported by an extensive photovoltaic installation and highly efficient infrastructure. The company continually optimizes manufacturing and logistics through resource-efficient technologies and digitally controlled processes to reduce its ecological footprint, a commitment that has been recognized with the EcoVadis Silver Medal.
