Seaward PV1525 Complete PV Test Kit
The Seaward PV1525 Complete PV Test Kit is designed for professional solar PV installers and operations and maintenance engineers who need to test, commission and maintain photovoltaic systems. It brings key electrical safety and performance checks together in one portable instrument. With support for PV systems up to 1500 V DC and 25 A DC, the tester helps engineers carry out open circuit voltage, short circuit current, insulation resistance and earth continuity tests across residential, commercial and utility-scale installations.
Built for efficient work on site, the Seaward PV1525 Complete PV Test Kit features a 3.5-inch colour display with a backlight for clear readings in bright outdoor conditions. On-screen guidance and illuminated function buttons help users follow test steps, while manual mode supports fault finding and diagnostic work. The supplied wireless current clamp makes it easy to measure operating current, and the irradiance meter supports solar panel performance checks. An internal memory with 1000 measurement slots also allows engineers to store results directly on the tester.
For easier reporting, Bluetooth connectivity links the instrument to the PV:Sync Mobile application on compatible iOS and Android devices. Users can review test results, add installation details and transfer records for use with SolarCert certification software. Wireless firmware updates help keep the tester current, while the rechargeable battery and protective carry case support regular site work. The Seaward PV1525 Complete PV Test Kit includes essential test leads, a current clamp, an irradiance meter and a SolarCert software licence, providing a complete set of tools for PV commissioning and maintenance.
