Description
The FLIR PV48 Solar Panel Tester is a handheld I-V curve tracer that verifies solar panel health on the spot, measuring maximum power, voltage, and current at the maximum power point without disconnecting the array.
The PV48 tests panels up to 800 W, 60 V, and 30 A, and pairs irradiance and temperature inputs with its electrical measurements for meaningful results in real conditions. A clear pass/fail workflow and METERLiNK® app reporting make it the quick check for commissioning, warranty verification, and troubleshooting underperforming strings.
