Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500T2 1500V I-V Curve Tracer Kit
The Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500T2 1500V I-V Curve Tracer Kit gives solar engineers a fast and reliable way to test PV strings and modules in the field. It captures accurate I-V curves and power data, which helps users confirm system performance with confidence. In addition, the kit supports commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and operational testing for commercial solar systems.
Built for demanding environments, the Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500T2 1500V I-V Curve Tracer Kit measures up to 1500V and 30A DC. The analyser uses a capacitive load for rapid curve tracing and can record either 100 or 500 data points during each sweep. As a result, users can identify faults, performance loss, and weak modules more quickly during routine inspections.
Wireless Solar Performance Testing
Wireless communication between the analyser and SolSensor allows smooth field operation without long cable runs. The SolSensor measures irradiance, temperature, and array tilt angle, then feeds this information directly into the PV model. Consequently, the system can predict expected I-V behaviour and compare it with live measured values for more accurate diagnostics.
Fast sweep times also improve productivity on larger installations. Typical PV string measurements can complete in as little as 0.2 seconds, while throughput can reach up to 400 sweeps per hour. Furthermore, the Windows-based software supports automated reporting and data management, making long-term system analysis much easier.
Designed for High Efficiency Modules
The Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500T2 1500V I-V Curve Tracer Kit is available in both standard and high-efficiency versions. The high-efficiency PVA-1500HE2 model supports up to 30A DC for modern high-current solar modules, while the standard version supports up to 10A DC. Both models include advanced data analysis tools and built-in PV performance modelling for consistent field results.
Compact construction and battery-powered operation make the analyser suitable for daily use on rooftops and solar farms. The unit includes wireless firmware update support, MC4 connectivity, and safety protection against over-voltage and over-current conditions. A one-year warranty and calibration certificate are also included for added peace of mind.
