MP-165 I-V Tracer
- For PV modules up to 3000W / 20A
Overview
The MP-165 I-V tracer is the optimum solution for testing individual solar cell or module characteristics in combination with a solar simulator or natural sunlight.
It can be found in factory quality control applications or long-term performance assessment studies of modules exposed to natural conditions outdoors. The cell or module performance characteristics are determined by changing the electrical load during the I-V sweep.
The radiant energy on the module can be measured simultaneously with the voltage and current measurements to calculate to Standard Test Conditions (STC) or equivalent standards.
The MP-165 can take samplings of voltage, current, and solar irradiance at the same time. It can also take measurements with an artificial light source (sequential illumination).
Connecting the MP-165 to a computer using an RS-232C connector allows the measured data to be displayed graphically.
