Aptera is the most efficient Solar Electric Vehicle that requires no charging for most daily use - giving you the freedom to do more with less impact on the planet. Aptera has been looking for a test solution for their photovoltaic panel cells to improve the reliability and durability.
In the beginning, an engineer of the Battery and HV Systems in Aptera inquired about a test chamber to test photovoltaic panel cells. They required the equipment must meet IEC61215 standard and is equipped with a plug and power wires. According to their needs, LIB designed PV-04 for Aptera Motor. The picture is as follows.

Relative Humidity:85%±5%; Test Temperature: 85℃±2℃; Test Duration:1000h; Temperature Change Rate:1~3.4 ℃ / min; Free calibration |
LIB guided Aptera on how to install and operate the equipment. They think it works well and are content with the quality.
LIB Supports Sustainable Innovation in the Solar EV Industry
The PV-04 Test Chamber provided to Aptera plays a vital role in verifying the long-term reliability of solar panel cells used in their ultra-efficient electric vehicles. Designed to replicate harsh environmental conditions, the chamber ensures that photovoltaic panels can withstand temperature fluctuations, humidity stress, and prolonged operational exposure.
This collaboration showcases LIB's expertise in delivering customized environmental testing solutions that align with global standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646, and UL 1703. The PV-04 model features high-accuracy PT-100 Class A sensors, a programmable humidity and temperature control system, and energy-efficient components to guarantee consistent test results and long-term operational stability.
LIB's engineering team worked closely with Aptera to tailor the chamber's specifications to their testing protocols. The temperature range of –60 ℃ to +100 ℃ and humidity control from 20 % to 98 % RH enable simulation of diverse real-world conditions that solar EV panels encounter across regions.
"Collaborating with Aptera represents another step forward in our commitment to supporting the global clean-energy transition," said LIB's Director of International Business Development. "Our testing solutions help innovative manufacturers like Aptera ensure that their solar technologies perform reliably under any environmental challenge."
