With the help of a patented process, the instrument is capable of ascertaining peak power, internal series resistance and internal parallel resistance directly on-site “with just a single measurement and without entering module data”, which are then displayed at a high resolution color graphic touch-screen that’s suitable for use in sunlight.
Troubleshooting in PV systems, as well as documentation of system quality, are executed quickly and economically during initial start-up and subsequent testing without a long learning curve.
Measured peak power can, for example, also be used in order to determine peak ratio. Beyond this, acquired characteristic curves make it possible to draw further conclusions regarding the electrical characteristics of the measured module or string. And thus the tester is also suitable for use in research and development.
Tracing of characteristic IU curves at PV modules and strings up to 1500 V DC, 40 A DC and 30 kW
The acquired characteristic IU curve is highly accurate thanks to consistent 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 instantaneous 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 single characteristic IU curve
High level of intrinsic safety thanks to included load disconnector (1500 V / 40 A DC)
Power and temperature measurement via 4-wire cable for error-free results
Separate measurement of temperatures at the irradiation sensor and at 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
