Follow these step-by-step instructions for performing I-V curve testing on solar installations using the Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500 PV Analyzer. Understand how to connect the tool, capture data under optimal irradiance conditions, analyze results, and generate detailed reports for asset owners and warranty purposes.

Say goodbye to guesswork when testing solar installations. The Fluke IRR2-BT gives you accurate readings with built-in sensors and an external probe for precision temperature measurements. Plus, it connects to the SMFT-1000 for I-V Curve calculations—helping you work faster, smarter, and safer.

Here are some of the key use cases for Fluke Solar Toolkits, that include solar panel installation, system performance monitoring, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and energy audits. Stay compliant, boost system performance, and maximize solar energy output with the right tools from Fluke!

I-V Curve Tracing is an essential method for evaluating the performance and health of a solar PV array—whether you're testing individual modules or full strings. In this video, we break down how I-V Curve Tracing works by comparing maximum potential current to voltage, and how the resulting curve helps you diagnose issues and ensure optimal system performance

Tired of second-guessing your solar voltage checks? The Limit Gauge on the Fluke 283 FC Multimeter lets you quickly spot out-of-range measurements during repetitive tests—perfect for large-scale PV sites. Watch as Will White shows how to set it up and save valuable time in the field.

The invisible threat….now you can see
Partial Discharge is a very serious issue that you are scanning for every day. Whether you are scanning insulators, transformers, switch gears or high-voltage powerlines you need to be sure that you spot a problem quickly and early. Partial discharge that goes unchecked can cause blackouts, fires, explosions, or death from arc flashes. In addition to the danger that this can pose to the environment and human lives it also has a very steep price tag. Having equipment go down can cost millions of dollars per hour of downtime, and studies have shown that a single data centre outage could cost $8,851 per minute. On top of this, the Department of Energy estimated that outages are costing the US economy $150 billion annually.
Key areas to scan for PD
• Insulators
• Transformers
• High voltage powerlines
• Switch gears
• Arrestors
• Busbars
• High voltage coils
• Breakers
• Capacitors

Do it fast, Do it safe
The ii910 is the all-in-one tool you have been looking for when it comes to all of your leak and PD issues. Everything you need is right at your fingertips. Quickly scan the area or environment and get all the pictures/videos you need with the simple one-button capture and large 7” touchscreen LCD. No additional tools or equipment are needed. Without cumbersome secondary cables or devices needed, you have full mobility and greater flexibility to swap between detecting of the leak/PD and fixing the leak/PD.
