Data Analysis and Reporting ‘The I-V Data Analysis Tool, provided with the PVA, automates the process of preparing detailed professional reports of your measurement resuts ‘The tool generates a table ofthe key performance parameter values for each string, group IV graphs for ‘each combiner box, and histograms showing how the data for each parameters cstiouted ‘ a Vata) 070 SolSensor Wireless PV Reference Sensor ‘SolSensor provides radiance, temperature, ‘and module tit data to the PV model. The ‘model uses this information to predict the -V curve shape at operating conditions, and to translate the measured curve to STC. ‘SolSensor clamps to the modile frame, automatically orienting the irradiance sensor in the plane of the array. ° wee Irradiance Accuracy ‘The spectral response of SolSensor's silicon photodiode sensor is corected for the PV technology under test. Special factors are provided for multi- and mono-crystalline cals as well as Cae and other thin fim technologies. The sensor is temperature compensated and the angular response of each unit is calibrated for rotation and elevation, AAs a result of these features, SolSensor makes accurate irradiance measurements over a broad range Of technologies, sky conditions, and sun angles, allowing EV curve measurements earlier and later in the day. Temperature Accuracy SolSensor provides two extemal thermocouple inputs for measuring module backside and/or ambient ternperatures. Effective cell temperature can also be calculated directly from the measured I-V curve using methods desorbed in IEC 609046 ‘The PVA's SmartTemp feature blends these two methods for best advantage. Temperature is calculated from the measured |-V curve at high irradiance, taken from the thermocouple at low irradiance, and derived from a blend Of the two at intermediate irradiance values. Wireless Interfaces ‘The PVA communicates with your PC by Zigbee (PVA-1000) or WiFi (PVA-1500). The SolSensor has a line of sight range of 100 meters. That means no wires underfoot, quick setup, and the ability to move around while troubleshooting strings, Measue multiple combiner boxes with a single SolSensor setup,PV Analyzer Includes: ‘* FV Measurement Unit with shoulder strap PVA Software for Windows™ + Alligator clip test leads MC-4 to MC-4 ‘connector savers’ MC-4 connector tool Battery charger (AC adapter) Data Analysis Too!
