Fluke PVA-1500T2 Solmetric PV Analyzer 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. Additionally, the Fluke PVA generates the P-V (power versus voltage) curve, Isc, Voc, Imp, Vmp, Pmax, fill factor, and performance factor (the ratio of measured to expected maximum power).
Time-saving interface

Using a tablet or laptop (Windows only) as the user interface, perform more tests per hour and display the data in multiple, easy-to-read formats. Save your measurements by touching your customized array tree at the branch you are measuring. The software automatically calculates the expected I-V curve and displays the performance factor.
Fluke SolSensor™ Wireless PV Reference Sensor

The Fluke SolSensor™ provides irradiance, module temperature, and array tilt data to the PV model. The model uses this information to predict the I-V curve shape at these operating conditions and to translate the measured curve to standard test conditions. The Fluke SolSensor™ clamps to the module frame, automatically orienting the irradiance sensor to the plane-of-array.
Turn PVA data into key insights

Capture data in the field with the Fluke PVA Application and validate the results with the Data Analysis Tool (DAT), a Microsoft Excel™-based solution streamlining the analysis of PVA I-V curve data. It compiles key PV parameters in a string table, flags non-conforming strings, and delivers a statistical overview of the entire array.
