1. SOLAR I-V MAIN FEATURES

SOLAR I-V: use as PV certifier
SOLAR I-V performs all tests on Single phase
PV plants by using of SOLAR-02 remote unit
which, after a preliminary synchronisation, save
in independent way the values of irradiance and
temperature. Only at the end of test the remote
unit should be connected via wireless RF with
the master to download the recorded data

SOLAR I-V: use as I-V curve checker

SOLAR I-V allows the on field measurement of I-V curve
as well as of the main parameters of a single module and
of a whole photovoltaic system up to a maximum of
1000V and 10A

With SOLAR-02 remote unit the irradiance and

temperature measured values are shown at
display also in independent mode (ideal solution
during a pre-test on installation) besides
test/recording with SOLAR I-V

The HT304 reference cell permits to performs solar

irradiance measurements both on PV modules in
Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline silicon material
