Compact Solar PV Tester with I-V curve tracing | PV200

Compact Solar PV Tester - Overview

The Compact Solar PV Tester, PV200, is a compact and cost-effective I-V curve tracer that uses simple and efficient push button operation which makes it a versatile tester for PV Systems. The Compact Solar PV tester measures open-circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power point voltage, current, power (with AC/DC clamp) and ground/earth continuity. The device also gives you the fill factor of the PV module or system under test. The device has a separate 1kV insulation resistance test function, eliminating the need for a separate, expensive device. Meanwhile, the high contrast display on the device is clearly visible in direct sunlight. The unit can also wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature, and PV module temperature from the Solar Survey 200R. Using the Solar Survey 200R your data can be converted to Standard Test Conditions (STC), in SolarCerts, for you to compare to the manufacturer’s published data.
