Seaward PV150
In a safe and easy-to-use testing device, the Seaward PV150 Solar PV Seaward Testers ensures electrical safety and performance verification of photovoltaic installations. The Seaward PV150 kit features a safe test connection to efficiently test energised arrays. The Solar PV Tester can also wirelessly capture and record real time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature measurements from the Solar Survey 200R. The Seaward PV150 has been designed to better support the testing of PV modules with recent technology advances.
Seaward PV150 offers an Open Circuit Voltage Measuring Range of 5.0VDC – 1000VDC and a Short Circuit Current Measuring Range of 0.50ADC – 15.00ADC (with a maximum power of 10kW). The instrument weighs 0.95kg/2.1lbs, with dimensions of 26.4 x 10.7 x 5.8cm/10.4 x 4.2 x 2.3”.
Seaward PV200
The Seaward PV200 are compact & cost effective PV Solar Seaward Testers with I-V curve tracer that uses simple push button operation, allowing for electrical safety. 999 datasets can be stored on the Seaward PV200 and analysed once downloaded to the SolarCert software. The Solar PV Tester measures ground (earth) continuity, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power point voltage, current and power (with AC/DC clamp). The instrument will also give you the fill factor of the PV module or system under test.
Seaward PV200 offers an Open Circuit Voltage Measuring Range of 5.0VDC – 1000VDC and a Short Circuit Current Measuring Range of 0.50ADC – 15.00ADC (with a maximum power of 10kW). The instrument weighs 0.95kg/2.1lbs, with dimensions of 26.4 x 10.7 x 5.8cm/10.4 x 4.2 x 2.3”.
