More About this Item
Enhance the output and prolong the service life of solar modules and arrays by accurately assessing the health and performance with the PVA-1500 PV analyzer I-V curve tracers. These high-precision analyzers use I-V curve tracing, the most complete solar module performance measurement, to quickly obtain detailed performance data of PV modules. Use the I-V curve tracers to pinpoint problems early to maximize solar energy production while minimizing downtime.
Clamp the included wireless SolSensor™ PV reference sensor to the module frame to measure irradiance and module temperature. With the angular response of each unit calibrated for rotation and elevation, the temperature-compensated sensor offers excellent accuracy over a broad range of technologies, sky conditions, and sun angles.
A portable design and an intuitive interface make it easy to use the analyzer in the field. The PV analyzer and the SolSensor sensor communicate wirelessly with a tablet or a laptop (Windows® only) via Wi-Fi. Download the Data Analysis Tool software to display the data in multiple, easy-to-read formats and a statistical overview of the entire array. The software looks at all the collected data for comparison to see where there are differences, identifying the issue for further troubleshooting. Easily create and send customized reports.
The high-efficiency PV analyzer is ideal for testing high-efficiency modules (>19% module efficiency). The high-efficiency modules have a large in-rush current when you start the test that can overheat the test instrument and slow down testing. Uniquely designed high-efficiency PV analyzer measures all string types, including high-efficiency modules, up to 30 A.
Purchase a high-efficiency PV analyzer I-V tracer with one year of premium care to help reduce unplanned expenses and unexpected downtime. With premium care you get hassle-free, no-charge repair services including labor, parts, and priority shipping. Not only does premium care repair the instrument, one calibration and performance check are also included free of charge and the accessories that originally shipped with the unit will be replaced if they are found to be defective by the technicians.
Premium Care includes: • Repair manufacturing defects • Annual calibration or performance test • Accident repair • Expedited calibration and repair • Expedited freight • Replacement of damaged accessories • Software updates • Priority tech support
