Photovoltaic installations: new HT solutions for commissioning
tests, performance recording and troubleshooting.

Thanks to the decreasing cost of components, and considerable increase

in related performance, installing PV systems on roofs or even on the
ground has become more and more common. It is necessary, however,
to consider problems of installation safety, performance recording
and maintenance that may affect any PV installation.

Troubleshooting
› It may happen that during the operation of a plant, some modules could fail compromising the performance of the whole system. When the efficiency of the system is lower than
expected, it is necessary to troubleshoot the system to detect the broken modules, for further replacement. SOLAR I-V and I-V 400 are the ideal solution for troubleshooting.

Commissioning tests
› Commissioning tests are carried out to prove that the systems operate and perform to the safety specification. The standard IEC 62446 states the minimum testing
and commissioning requirements to be carried out on PV installation each time they are connected to the grid. PVCHECK is the ideal solution for commissioning tests,
as well as pre-start-up system checks.

Performance
› Performance recording is a necessary pre-requisite to make maintenance programs effective. To monitor the performance of the system allows for detection of loss
of production, to be corrected by troubleshooting and fixing the damage. SOLAR300N, SOLAR I-V and MPP300 are the ideal solution for scheduled performance
recording, as well as for loss of production investigation

SOLAR I-V
Multifunction instrument for testing single-phase PV installations.
(THREE-PHASE with accessory MPP300)

› Designed to meet any requirement of PV installation testers

› Single phase efficiency measurement
› I-V curve tracer
› Voc and Isc measurement
› Database of 30.000 PV modules curve types

Easy identification of problems on systems which are not complying

with the specifications declared by the manufacturer.
SOLAR I-V measures the efficiency of single-phase PV systems and also measures the I-V
characteristic both of a single module and of module strings on PV plants (up to a maximum
of 1000V and 10A).
Remote irradiation and temperature measurement
Irradiation and temperature measurements play an essential role for extrapolation of the I-V characteristic
under standard test conditions. SOLAR I-V carries out such measurements directly or under remote
mode through the unit SOLAR-02, synchronized with main unit. SOLAR I-V can effect measurements
at the inverter, while SOLAR-02 simultaneously detects environmental values close to modules
without using long cable extensions.
No more wasting time. It contemporarily carries out tests/recordings of 3 PV arrays.
SOLAR I-V can be interfaced with optional accessory MPP300 capable of carrying out simultaneoulsy
tests and recordings on max 3 separate arrays, typical of multi-MPPT systems and multi-inverter
systems (with MPP300).
Testing outcome: OK or NOT OK
SOLAR I-V compares the measured values with the values declared by the module manufacturer,
immediately providing the test result.

Immediate recording of the I-V characteristic and of the characteristic parameters

I-V400 carries out the field measurement of the I-V characteristic and of the main characteristic parameters
both of a single module and of module strings on PV plants (up to a maximum of 1000V and 10A).
Immediate compliance test result
The acquired data are then processed to extrapolate the I-V characteristic under standard test
conditions (STC) in order to proceed comparing them with the rated data declared by the modules’
manufacturer, thus immediately determining whether or not the string or the module under test
comply with the characteristics declared by the manufacturer. On the other hand the analysis of
IV curve permits to detect any fault condition on each single module composing the string under test.
Remote irradiation and temperature measurement
Irradiation and temperature measurements play an essential role for extrapolation of the I-V characteristic
under standard test conditions. I-V 400 carries out such measurements directly or under remote mode through the
optional unit SOLAR-02, synchronized with main unit. I-V 400 can effect measurements at the inverter, while
SOLAR-02 simultaneously detects environmental values close to modules without using long cable extensions.
Friendly use with possibility of continuous updating of PV modules
I-V 400 manages a database of PV modules, which can be updated at any time both via the management
software and directly on the instrument through the user interface.
Very accurate measurements even using cable extensions
Current and voltage measurements on modules or strings are effected with the 4-terminal method,
which allows extending measuring cables without requiring any resistance compensation, so providing
accurate and precise measurements.
Test outcome: OK or NOT OK
I-V 400 compares the measured values with the values declared by the module
manufacturer, immediately providing the test result.

MPP300
Accessory for measuring and recording the efficiency of single-phase
and three-phase multi-string systems

› Simultaneous analysis of 3 strings

› For connection with SOLAR300N and SOLAR I-V
› Lowering of testing times

MPP300 is an innovative accessory allowing measuring and recording the main parameters which
characterize single-phase and three-phase, single-string and multi-string (up to three MPPTs)
photovoltaic systems.

Provided with a practical anti-shock hard carrying case, its light weight and small size make
it ideal for the field use.

MPP300 interfaces with SOLAR300N and SOLAR I-V for settings, to start/stop recording electrical
and environmental parameters and to enable the download of the recorded values. The master
instrument SOLAR300N or SOLAR I-V is only used in the initial and final phase of recording, and it
does not play any active role while recording electrical and environmental parameters.

The remote unit SOLAR-02 (synchronized with MPP300) is positioned next to the photovoltaic
modules for measuring environmental parameters (irradiation and temperature). Thanks to the
synchronism, it is not necessary to lay long connection cables between the environmental
probes and the instrument, hampering the operator’s movements, being a hindrance, etc., nor to use
a wireless connection between the environmental probes and the instrument, usually impossible,
because of signal attenuation due to the presence of floors, of reinforced concrete or metal structures,
etc. The synchronization between the two units guarantees the necessary contemporaneity
of measurements, the two separate and independent units make measurements comfortable and
safe under any condition.

MPP300 finds its best partner in SOLAR I-V: while MPP300 is recording the electrical and environmental
parameters, it is possible to measure the I-V characteristics of strings and modules with SOLAR
I-V, saving time and money.
