Are you using traditional tools to test solar PV installations?

There is a faster and more accurate way to help save time and money…

Using traditional tools such as a clamp meter or multimeter to test and troubleshoot solar PV installations takes a lot of time, and the accuracy of results may vary. There is a quicker and more accurate way to test solar PV systems, which could streamline maintenance tasks.

COMTEST, the local representative of Seaward, provides a number of specialist PV test solutions for both 1000V and 1500V systems, which are used and trusted by thousands of solar PV professionals across the world. Check below to see how these tools can change the way you test, and choose a kit to suit specific needs:

The Seaward PV200 Solar Installation Tester allows electrical safety and performance verification of photovoltaic installations in a safe and easy-to-use device. Transforming the way PV systems are tested, the PV200 combines ground continuity, DC operating power and operating current test functions in a hand-held device. It can also test insulation resistance, open circuit voltage and short circuit current at the push of a button. The unit can also wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature measurements from the Solar Survey 200R.  The PV200 has memory to store up to 999 datasets that can be stored on the instrument and once downloaded to the SolarCert software comparison to the standard test conditions can be made.

Professional test certificates and reports can also be created when used with Seaward’s SolarCert software.
