Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500HE2 1500V High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer Kit
The Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500HE2 1500V High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer Kit helps users measure PV system output with accuracy and speed. It checks the health and performance of solar modules, strings, and arrays. As a result, users can make informed decisions during commissioning, maintenance, audits, and fault finding.
This kit traces I-V curves up to 1500V and 30A DC. It also supports high efficiency modules, which makes it suitable for modern solar sites. In addition, the 9 second sweep-to-sweep delay helps users complete more tests in less time.
Fast PV Performance Checks
With the Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500HE2 1500V High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer Kit, users can test strings, modules, and combiner box circuits. The analyser measures I-V curves with 100 or 500 selectable curve points. It then helps compare measured results against the expected PV model.
The built-in PV model gives fast performance checks in the field. Moreover, the stored baseline data supports later performance reviews. This helps users spot outliers, review changes, and plan further action when output is lower than expected.
SolSensor Measurement Support
The SolSensor 300 measures irradiance, module temperature, and array tilt. It sends this data by wireless connection to the PVA software. Therefore, the measured curve can be corrected to standard test conditions for clearer analysis.
The silicon photodiode sensor includes compensation for module technology, temperature, and tilt. It also supports azimuth and elevation calibration. Consequently, the Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500HE2 1500V High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer Kit can support testing earlier or later in the day.
