I-V Curve Tracer supports testing ranges of up to 400V and 20A, as well as 1000W modules. It captures key module parameters and environmental data, offering rapid testing, data correction, and safety protection capabilities, making it ideal for PV power plant inspection and O&M (operations and maintenance).


I-V Curve Tracer is a precision testing device designed specifically for the PV industry. Primarily used for measuring the I-V (current-voltage) characteristics of solar modules and PV strings, it meets the performance testing needs of various small-to-medium-sized PV modules and is widely used in scenarios such as power plant acceptance, routine O&M, and third-party testing. With a measurement range of up to 400V and 20A, it reliably performs full-parameter testing on 1000W PV modules, covering all core electrical performance indicators.


I-V Curve Tracer features an integrated, portable, and lightweight design, making it suitable for complex outdoor operating environments. It offers dual operation modes—touchscreen and keypad—and includes peripheral interfaces for storage expansion. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing personnel to quickly begin testing. The device delivers exceptional efficiency, completing a full test cycle for a single module or string in just 10 seconds; it also supports one-click data export, significantly boosting on-site testing productivity.


Regarding measurement accuracy and data compatibility, I-V Curve Tracer is equipped with high-precision irradiance meters and temperature sensors to capture real-time environmental data such as irradiance and panel temperature. It supports testing in low-light outdoor conditions and performs corrections based on Standard Test Conditions (STC), ensuring data comparability across different environments. The device includes a comprehensive database of PV module correction models compatible with most mainstream brands; users can also manually add models and customize parameters to meet diverse testing requirements.


I-V Curve Tracer incorporates robust performance and safety mechanisms. It utilizes high-precision capacitive and resistive loads combined with rapid operation modules and professional analysis software to generate high-resolution I-V curves and support continuous, uninterrupted scanning and testing. The design features an internal high-voltage isolated power supply combined with automatic range switching and protections against overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheating, effectively mitigating operational risks. Equipped with a built-in, replaceable high-capacity lithium battery, it provides stable power for extended outdoor testing, making it an essential, practical tool for comprehensive photovoltaic power plant inspections.
