Specially designed for solar power installations!
Electrical power surveys.
Solar-panel efficiency calculations.
DC/AC inverter efficiency calculations
With the spread of solar power installations, professionals in the sector, installers, maintenance technicians and auditing organizations need a simple and effective test and measurement instrument, as the users sell on the electricity produced.
The payback time for the installation will vary according to the actual efficiency of the solar power installation. In an installation, each row of solar panels is designed to achieve a specific level of efficiency which is indicated on the datasheet concerning the panel.
When this reference value is reached, it means the installation is operating correctly. If not, it means there is a malfunction on the panel or on one of its components.
Major advantage: the FTV-100 can be used to perform these measurements simultaneously on 1, 2 or 3 rows of panels set up in parallel.
This instrument can simultaneously measure and display all the physical and electrical parameters of solar power installations. It also stores them at the same time.
