Working with society
Testing, measurement campaigns and technical advice for companies, public institutions and research projects.
Measurement of the real performance of solar panels, new or already installed, to verify the manufacturer's ratings or quantify how much they have lost over the years.
For Installers, rural electrification projects, institutional buyers
Irradiance data to size an installation or assess the feasibility of a project at a specific location.
For Project developers, engineering consultancies, local governments
Measurement campaigns for particulate matter and the associated meteorological variables, with interpretation of the results.
For Municipalities, environmental impact studies, schools and health centres
Optical and structural tests on solid samples and thin films, using the laboratory's instruments.
For Research groups, thesis students, companies with in-house development
Diagnosis of a building's energy use and thermal behaviour, with concrete improvement measures ranked by payback.
For Public institutions, schools, companies, housing projects
Academic supervision and technical training in renewable energy and environmental measurement.
For Students from UNSA and other universities, professionals in the sector
How it works
You write to us describing what you need to measure or solve, where and by when. The more specific, the better.
We check whether the laboratory can do it with the available instruments, and to what extent. If we cannot, we tell you.
You receive a proposal with scope, methodology, timeline and cost, processed according to the university’s procedures.
The test or campaign is carried out and a technical report is delivered with the results, the methodology and its limitations.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The laboratory carries out tests, measurement campaigns and technical advice for companies, municipalities, consultancies and other research groups, within the outreach framework of the National University of San Agustín.
By writing to the laboratory’s email address with a description of what needs to be measured, the location and the expected timeline. We then assess technical feasibility and prepare a proposal with scope, timeline and cost.
Yes. Students of the School of Physics doing their thesis or internship in the laboratory work with the instruments under the supervision of a responsible researcher.
The laboratory issues technical reports signed by the responsible researchers. Whether they are accepted for a specific procedure depends on the requirements of the requesting body, so it is worth checking before commissioning the test.
It depends on the nature of the job. If it involves the use of property or intellectual property of the National University of San Agustín, or if there is a contractual obligation with the university or another body, the service must go through the appropriate institutional channels. Otherwise it may be arranged in a personal capacity by members of the laboratory. This website is not an official UNSA portal, but the question of which channel applies can be answered here.
