Abstract: Solar simulator provides plant experiment and research fixed and standard light environment avoiding space and climate change effect. For solving problems of complication and high cost by solar simulator with certain parallel degree, a simple but effective solar simulator was built with xenon lamp and convex selected. Lamp with circuit fittings such as transformer, trigger, high voltage line and frame and optical fittings such as convex and lamp cup are included in the simulator. After analysis by SPSS, there is no apparent difference among shadow areas in different heights and positions, which shows that the parallel degree is satisfied within convex area. Additionally, there is here is extreme difference between no leaf and having leaf conditions, which shows that direct radiation is so far bigger than diffuse radiation. Key words:Solar simulator, xenon lamp, convex, direct radiation
