Fluke PVA-1500T2 | 1500V PV Analyzer & I-V Curve Tracer

Solar arrays can produce acceptable voltage while still operating below expected power due to module mismatch, degradation, shading, or other performance issues. The Fluke PVA-1500T2 PV Analyzer measures complete I-V curves up to 1500 V DC, giving PV professionals detailed performance information rather than a single voltage or current reading.

The analyzer provides selectable 100- or 500-point I-V traces, with typical PV-string sweeps taking approximately 0.2 seconds. A built-in PV model enables immediate comparison between measured and expected performance, while automated data-management tools support large commissioning and O&M projects. Under specified conditions, the system can perform up to 400 sweeps per hour. For high-efficiency modules of 19% or greater, the T2 configuration supports up to 10 A Isc; its HE2 counterpart extends this to 30 A.

PVA-1500 Model Selection Guide

Choose the PVA-1500T2 when high-efficiency module short-circuit current remains within 10 A. Select the PVA-1500HE2 when high-efficiency modules require current measurement up to 30 A.

Market Relevance
