Features

  • Measurement of characteristic I-U curves at PV modules and strings up to 1000V DC, 20A DC and 20kW
  • Acquired characteristic I-U curve is highly accurate thanks to steady measurement at the capacitive load
  • Measurement of short-circuit current Isc, open circuit voltage Uoc, instantaneous peak power of a solar cell Pmax, series resistance Rs and internal parallel resistance Rp
  • Automatic conversion of momentary measured values to STC
  • Patented calculation process for evaluating PV generators without knowledge of the manufacturer's specifications
  • Patented calculation process for determining the generator's internal series resistance based solely on a measured characteristic I-U curve
  • Integrated customer database with bidirectional data exchange
  • Integrated module database with bidirectional data exchange
  • High level of intrinsic safety thanks to included load disconnector (1000V / 32A DC)
  • Power and temperature measurement via four-conductor cable for error-free results
  • Separate measurement of temperatures at the irradiation sensor and the back of the module (Pt100) for increased measuring accuracy
  • Continuous display of momentary irradiation and temperature provides information regarding measuring conditions
  • Easy touch-screen operation
  • Highly luminous, high resolution color TFT display with energy-saving LED illumination (suitable for use in sunlight!)
  • External power pack with broad-range input for charging the batteries, and for continuous operation of the measuring instrument
  • Software for graphic representation, evaluation and documentation with integrated database
  • Operation via a PC with direct import of measurements is also possible (e.g. for long-term measurements)
  • Open interfaces allow for operation of the instrument in special applications as well

Applications

Ideal for the following applications: Solar Panels, PV Modules.
