The number of solar power plants has been steadily increasing over the past years. Photovoltaic systems are known for: Long Lifetime, Low aging effects, Low maintenance, Low operating costs, Easy Installation and Robustness.
Nevertheless, different kind of faults in PV systems can occur which lead to:
- Performance losses of >10 % within 3 years are very common
- Most faults are not detectable by visual inspection
- Mismatch losses of PV strings are 10 to 100 times higher than defect panels
The PV Master is able to automatically detect faults such as:
- Mismatch Losses
- Hotspots
- PID (Potential induced degradation)
- Bypass diode defect
- Cell Crack
- Soiling & Glass breakage
- Delamination & Discoloration
Hardware
- Up to 24 channels for simultaneous measurement of up to 20 strings
- 10.1 inch full-HD Smart Touch display
- Up to 4 hours of operation
- Up to 1600V / 40A designed for high-power applications (high voltage, high current)
- IEC 62446
- Interfaces: USB 3.0, TCP/IP, LAN, Wifi, Bluetooth, RS232, Modbus, 104, DIO, and CAN
