SOL-TI-9HZ-KIT SOLMETRIC PVA HIGH EFF IV CURVE TRCR + TIS75 9HZ

Featuring the PVA-1500HE2 I-V Curve Tracer and the TiS75+ Thermal Camera, this toolkit is designed to streamline the inspection process and ensure optimal performance of solar arrays. The PVA-1500HE2 offers an array of advanced features, including high throughput I-V curve tracing, providing quick and detailed performance data. Its intuitive user interface enables easy navigation and real-time analysis, allowing for immediate identification of potential issues. Complementing this, the TiS75+ Thermal Camera provides precise thermal imaging to detect anomalies like hot spots and faulty connections. From commissioning and troubleshooting to routine inspections and performance optimization, this toolkit empowers solar professionals to maximize the efficiency and reliability of solar installations.

Using a thermal camera such as the Fluke TiS75+ at a solar PV site can help improve system performance, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the life of the solar panels and related components. Thermal inspections with the Ti75+ can assist in:

• Locating hotspots on solar panels indicating damage or underperformance
• Identifying electrical issues such as loose or corroded connections
• Preventing critical issues and extending system life
• Ensuring proper installation and safe operation
• Monitoring system performance and identify degradation or anomalies
• Assessing shading issues that impact energy production

The PVA-1500HE2 is a cutting-edge I-V curve tracer kit designed to measure PV system performance. With this high precision testing equipment, you can reliably assess the health and performance of solar modules and arrays, making informed decisions to enhance their output and longevity.

The PVA-1500HE2 kit offers an array of advanced features, including high throughput I-V curve tracing, providing quick and detailed performance data. Its intuitive user interface enables easy navigation and real-time analysis, allowing for immediate identification of potential issues. By pinpointing problems early, you can maximize your solar energy production and minimize downtime.

For commissioning, operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting of PV arrays, I-V curve testing is the most complete solar module performance measurement. Quick analysis of curve datasets aids in detecting outliers, and the stored data functions as a baseline for future performance inquiries.

The PVA measures the I-V (current versus voltage) curve of a PV string or module using a capacitive load. The measurement is typically performed at the string level by connecting directly to the string or at a combiner box using the fuses to select the string under test. The number of I-V curve points can be selected at 100 or 500. Additionally, the PVA generates the P-V (power versus voltage) curve, Isc, Voc, Imp, Vmp, Pmax, fill factor, and performance factor (the ratio of measured to expected maximum power).

With a tablet or laptop (Windows only) as the user interface, perform more tests per hour and display the data in multiple, easy to read formats. Save your measurements by touching your customized array tree at the branch you are measuring. The software automatically calculates the expected I-V curve and displays the performance factor.

Accurate measurement of high efficiency modules up to 30A: Highly efficient modules (>19% module efficiency) possess high

capacitance, posing a challenge for some I-V curve tracers that may not be able to measure them. Th
