Solar PV Installation Tester Kit | PV150

Multifunction Solar PV Installation Tester – Overview

Transforming the way PV systems are tested, the PV150 combines ground continuity, DC operating power and operating current test functions in a hand-held device. It can also test insulation resistance, open circuit voltage and short circuit current at the push of a button. The unit can also wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature measurements from the Solar Survey 200R. 200 datasets can be stored on the PV150 and are easily downloaded via the USB connection to the SolarCert software so you can create professional reports for your customers. This tester saves time safely and is easy to use.
