Photovoltaic testing should be accurate and efficient. When you rent a photovoltaic tester from ATEC, you will find affordable rates for products from industry-leading manufactures. Choose from manufactures such as Solmetric, Tritec, Keysight, Elgar, HT Instruments, and more.
What is a Photovoltaic Tester?
A photovoltaic tester is a complete electrical test solution for verifying photovoltaic array performance. This device collects important data which will both help a technician in the moment and in the future as they look back on trends or common problems. Photovoltaic test equipment is often used for analysis in the solar energy industry.
What is the purpose of photovoltaic module testing?
Photovoltaic testers monitor and examine the I-V (current vs. voltage) and P-V (power vs. voltage) of solar energy. Using semiconducting materials, photovoltaic testers exhibit the photovoltaic effect, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. These tools are widely used in commissioning, auditing, and troubleshooting of electrical systems. With them, populations of curves can be quickly analyzed, providing outliers and data for reference in performance monitoring down the line.
Choosing the right photovoltaic tester
Desirable characteristics in a PV tester include best I-V accuracy, best irradiance and temperature accuracy, longest wireless sensor range, and more. ATEC carries photovoltaic testers from leading manufacturers like Solmetric, Tritec, and HT Industries.
