With direct connection to individual PV modules or strings using the supplied lead sets, tests can be conducted easily and within a matter of seconds at the press of a single button.

A high contrast display is clearly visible in direct sunlight and shows open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power point voltage, current and power, as well as the fill factor of the PV module or system under test, and insulation resistance (as part of an auto sequence or a discrete probe to probe measurement). If the measured curve deviates from the expected profile, the PV210 alerts the user to this, identifying the need for further analysis.

Detailed and colour I-V and power curves, can be viewed instantly once data is transferred to the PV Android App using wireless NFC connectivity. PV displays measured I-V and power curves for visual analysis of the curve shape, enabling common problems such as shading, defective cells or poor electrical connections to be identified.

What is curve tracing?

We have created a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions about curve tracing, including 'What is curve tracing?', 'Why is curve tracing important?', 'What is PV Fill Factor?', plus many more.
