Solmetric, manufacturer of analyzing and testing tools and software for solar installers, offers an upgrade to its PVA-600 analyzer to a PVA-600+.
The Solmetric PV Analyzer is an I-V curve tracer with advanced modeling that enables accuracy and insight into PV array performance during commissioning, O&M, auditing and troubleshooting.
Upgrading the PVA-600 hardware allows using the company’s new SolSensor and updated PC software. The SolSensor allows capturing irradiance, module temperature and tilt readings the instant the I-V curve is measured. It improves the effectiveness of expected performance models and has a range of more than 300 ft and includes a module rail clamp and precision mounting system for POA alignment. The company urges customers to replace their wireless sensor kits wth the new Solsensor and benefit from an increased wireless range, accuracy and ease of setup.
Other benefits of the upgrade include:
-Updated software features
-Incident angle corrected irradiance sensor delivering accurate readings in lower light conditions
-SmartTemp: blending module backside temperature with Effective Cell Temperature for the best cell temperature measurements
The upgrade process involves shipping your PVA-600 hardware (measurement unit and USB interface) for retrofitting, programming and recalibration at the Solmetric factory. Call (707-823-4600) or Email the company for upgrade pricing details and to obtain a return authorization.
