Seaward PV1525 Complete PV Test Kit
The Seaward PV1525 Test Kit provides a complete solution for photovoltaic commissioning, maintenance and fault finding. Designed for professional installers and O&M engineers, it supports critical safety and performance tests across modern PV systems. As a result, technicians can complete verification tasks with greater confidence and efficiency.
Reliable testing is essential during installation and servicing. Therefore the Seaward PV1525 Test Kit combines voltage, current and resistance measurements within a single portable instrument. It supports PV systems up to 1500 V DC and 25 A while helping technicians maintain safe working practices through built-in voltage warnings and input protection.
Designed for Efficient PV Commissioning
Clear on-screen guidance helps technicians follow consistent testing procedures across solar arrays. The integrated display provides easy visibility in bright outdoor environments, while internal memory allows results to be stored directly on the tester. Consequently, readings can be organised and transferred later without needing additional equipment on site.
Streamlined Data Management
Bluetooth connectivity allows the Seaward PV1525 Test Kit to send test data to the PV:Sync mobile application. This enables users to review readings, add job details and export results to SolarCert software for certification documents. Wireless firmware updates also help ensure the tester stays current with the latest features.
Portability remains an important part of the design. The Seaward PV1525 Test Kit includes the tester, leads, wireless clamp and irradiance meter in a single carry case. This keeps tools organised and allows installers to move efficiently between testing locations while maintaining accurate and traceable results.
