I-V CURVE TRACING
Field measurement of I-V curve on one or more modules or complete strings up to 1500V/10A or 1000V/15A for verification of PV array performance.
Emesco makes use of
HT 1500V Multifunction
I-V Curve Tracers.
Our experienced engineers conduct I-V curve tracing during the commissioning and operations & maintenance phases of utility scale solar PV projects comparing actual performance of arrays with their equipment ratings and contractual obligations.
Our specialized data analysis will provide a recommendation on optimization and enhancement methodology, by taking the following readings:
-
Measurement of I-V Curve of a module or of a string
-
Measurement of open-circuit voltage and of short-circuit current Voc/Isc
-
Measurement of PV module/string output voltage up to 1500V/10A or 1000V/15A
-
Measurement of resistance of series Rs of panels
-
DC/AC TRMS single-phase voltage
-
DC/AC TRMS single-phase current
