HT Instruments SOLAR I-V PV Single Phase Certifier and I-V Curve Checker
The IV curve tracer SOLAR I-V has been designed to meet any requirement of photovoltaic installation testers. Further to providing the possibility of testing and measuring the efficiency of single-phase photovoltaic systems and also measures the I-V characteristic both of a single module and module strings. Thanks to The IV curve tracer SOLAR I-V, the operator can test the photovoltaic system and, should it give a negative result, immediately identify the problems of the system to promptly solve them.
The IV curve tracer SOLAR I-V is provided with the remote unit SOLAR-02 for measuring irradiation and temperature. The synchronization between the main unit and remote unit, by radio-frequency (RF) wireless connection, guarantees the necessary simultaneity of measurements. The IV curve tracer SOLAR I-V also manages a database of photovoltaic modules, which can be updated at any time.
The measured IV characteristic is not affected by the resistance of the measurement cables, as it is carried out with the 4-terminal measuring method. The measured values, correctly reported at standard test conditions, are immediately compared with the values declared by the manufacturer to give the OK /NO result of the test. The operator must not do any calculation, the instrument carries out the comparison rapidly and automatically.
The efficiency of single-phase photovoltaic systems.
The IV curve tracer HT SOLAR IV allows carrying out all tests required for the verification of the efficiency of single-phase photovoltaic systems. Testing photovoltaic systems require contemporarily measuring environmental parameters (incident irradiation of modules, the temperature of environment and modules) and electric parameters (continuous power, alternating power, etc.)
I-V curve tracer
The IV curve tracer HT SOLAR IV allows the detection field of the IV characteristic both of a single module for both strings of modules for PV installations up to 1000V and 10A. The acquired data are then processed and translated at reference conditions (STC) so that it can be compared with the nominal data declared by the manufacturer of the modules. The comparison between the measured and nominal data can help you determine immediately if the string or the module meets the design parameters declared by the manufacturer.
Reference Cell HT304N
The IV curve tracer HT SOLAR IV has a reference cell that is located next to the photovoltaic module using the appropriate bracket will measure the solar radiation. This is necessary to calculate the performance of the plant in operating conditions.
There are two types of sensors:
- Monocrystalline
- Polycrystalline
Temperature probe PT300N
The optional temperature probe will be positioned on the back of the photovoltaic module to compensate for the drop in the performance of the module as a function of temperature.
Excessive distances? No problem.
The optional accessory Solar02 will be synchronized with HT IV 400 so you can measure temperature and radiation away from the instrument. Complete the measure simply reconnect via wireless the Solar02 with The IV curve tracer HT SOLAR IV and automatically will exchange all data related to temperature and irradiance measured.
