The photovoltaic meter is a useful tool to examine solar cells for their characteristics. With a DC voltage range of 0… 60V and a DC current range of 0… 12 A, it covers a large number of solar modules. The determined characteristic curves are saved directly on the solar module tester. Up to 100 measurements can be stored in the data memory. The stored measured values can then be read out and further processed on a PC with the associated software. In addition, it is possible to operate the photovoltaic meter completely via the software.
The photovoltaic meter has different measuring functions for determining the characteristics of a solar module. In the automatic mode, the characteristic curve is created with automatic parameters. In manual mode, the start and end of the current value can be set on the photovoltaic meter. If the area of the solar module and the power of the incoming radiation are stored in W/m², the photovoltaic meter can calculate the efficiency and the fill factor of the cell. Another measuring function is the one-point measurement. A specific current can be controlled.
The LCD display of the photovoltaic meter has a size of 4.8“. In order to analyze the characteristic curve better, each individual measuring point on the photovoltaic meter can be approached. Because of its many different functions, the radiation detector is the ideal measuring device to examine solar modules for their effectiveness.
