Fluke PVA-1500HE2 Solmetric PV Analyzer High Efficiency IV Curve Tracer
The Fluke PVA-1500 is a cutting-edge I-V curve tracer kit designed to measure PV system performance. With this high precision testing equipment, you can reliably assess the health and performance of solar modules and arrays, making informed decisions to enhance their output and longevity.
The Fluke PVA-1500 kit offers an array of advanced features, including high throughput I-V curve tracing, providing quick and detailed performance data. Its intuitive user interface enables easy navigation and real-time analysis, allowing for immediate identification of potential issues. By pinpointing problems early, you can maximize your solar energy production and minimize downtime.
Comprehensive measurements and efficient analysis

For commissioning, operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting of PV arrays, I-V curve testing is the most complete solar module performance measurement. Quick analysis of curve datasets aids in detecting outliers, and the stored data functions as a baseline for future performance inquiries.
Accurate I-V curve tracing

The Fluke PVA measures the I-V (current versus voltage) curve of a PV string or module using a capacitive load. The measurement is typically performed at the string level by connecting directly to the string or at a combiner box. The number of I-V curve points can be selected at 100 or 500. Additionally, the Fluke PVA generates the P-V (power versus voltage) curve, Isc, Voc, Imp, Vmp, Pmax, fill factor, and performance factor.
Advanced High Efficiency PV Testing Capabilities

 
Accurate measurement of high efficiency modules up to 30A: Highly efficient modules (>19% module efficiency) possess high capacitance, posing a challenge for some I-V curve tracers. The Fluke PVA-1500HE2 is uniquely designed to measure all string types up to 30A.
 
Rapid performance in high temperature environments: Operates with a swift sweep-to-sweep delay of 9 seconds (at Voc < 1350V), allowing you to measure 3.5 MW within an hour even in high-heat settings.

Fluke SolSensor™ Wireless PV Reference Sensor

The Fluke SolSensor™ provides irradiance, module temperature, and array tilt data to the PV model. It clamps to the module frame, automatically orienting the irradiance sensor to the plane-of-array. It is accurate over a broad range of technologies, sky conditions, and sun angles, allowing measurements earlier and later in the day.
Data Analysis & Insights

Capture data in the field with the Fluke PVA Application and validate results with the Data Analysis Tool (DAT), a Microsoft Excel™-based solution. It compiles key PV parameters, flags non-conforming strings, and delivers a statistical overview of the entire array. Reports can be exported as customizable PDFs.
