Description
The solar panel meter is a measuring device for analysis and evaluation of photovoltaic modules on the basis of their electrical characteristics. The solar panel meter is designed for fast and reliable testing of solar modules directly on site and enables the recording of most important electrical measured values of a module.
With a direct voltage range of 0 ... 60 V, a direct current range of 0 ... 30 A and a maximum power measurement up to 800 W, the solar panel measuring device is suitable for common photovoltaic modules. The measured values are processed during the measurement and displayed in the device. The solar panel meter carries out an I-V characteristic measurement and graphically displays the measurements in the form of an I-V/P-V curve analysis. The measured values are displayed visually as curves. The display is color-coded: Current (blue), power (violet) and voltage (black), enabling a clear distinction between the parameters.
In addition to the trend view, a data table is available in which the measured values are listed. The peak data for a quick evaluation of the performance values are also highlighted there. The solar panel meter determines the most important electrical parameters such as idle voltage (VOC), short-circuit current (ISC), MPP voltage (upp), MPP current (IMPP) as well as the maximum output (Pmax).
The images are displayed on an integrated 2.4 inch LCD screen that displays both graphs and measurement data. In addition, the module temperature is recorded. The solar panel meter has an internal memory for up to 10 data sets which can be stored and retrieved in the device. The measuring points are lost after the device is switched off. With its versatile measurement and analysis functions, the solar panel meter is suitable for installation, maintenance and troubleshooting Photovoltaic systems
