Product Details
The Fluke® PVA-1500HE2 Solmetric high efficiency PV analyzer I-V curve tracer features an advanced built-in PV model for immediate performance checking and reliable assessment of PV system solar modules and arrays. It offers high throughput I-V curve tracing with an intuitive user interface for easy navigation and real-time analysis to identify potential issues quickly. The device measures and displays I-V of PV strings or modules via a capacitive load up to 1500 V/30 A, generating P-V curves along with parameters such as Isc, Voc, Imp, Vmp, Pmax, fill factor, and performance factor. It includes wireless interfaces for faster setup and safer operation, allows accurate measurement of high-efficiency modules up to 30 A, and supports all string types with uninterrupted measurements in hot environments. The sweep-to-sweep delay of 9 seconds enables measurement of 3.5 MW in under 1 hour. The integrated SolSensor provides irradiance, module temperature, and array tilt data to the main unit, predicting I-V curve shape at operating conditions and translating measured curves to standard test conditions, with spectral response corrected for the PV technology under test. The analyzer supports a broad range of technologies, sky conditions, and sun angles, includes two external thermocouple inputs for measuring module backside temperatures, and comes with a Data Analysis Tool (DAT) that presents results in multiple formats, compiles key PV parameters in string tables, flags non-conforming strings, delivers statistical overviews of entire arrays, and automates data management, analysis, and reporting. A database of more than 70,000 modules with automatic updates is included, and the unit is field firmware update ready.
