More about the PV210
The PV210 is a compact and affordable I-V curve tracer with straightforward push-button operation, making it an efficient and adaptable tester for PV systems. It can store 999 datasets, which can be downloaded to the SolarCert software for comparison with standard test conditions.
The tester evaluates ground (earth) continuity, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum power point voltage, current, and power (using an AC/DC clamp). It also provides the fill factor of the PV module or system being tested.
The PV210 includes a separate 1kV insulation resistance test function, removing the need for an additional costly device. Its high-contrast display is easily readable in direct sunlight.
The device can wirelessly capture and log real-time irradiance, ambient temperature, and PV module temperature from the Solar Survey 200R. With the Solar Survey 200R, your data can be converted to standard test conditions in SolarCerts, allowing you to compare it with the manufacturer's published data.
These are just a few reasons why we believe the PV210 is a worthwhile investment.

- Stores up to 999 records with USB transfer to a PC.
- Quick NFC data transfer via the PVMobile app.
- High-contrast display, visible in bright light.
Whats included in the PV210 Complete Kit?
Solar Survey 200R Irradiance Meter
The 200R wirelessly connects to the Solar Utility Pro, providing real-time measurements of irradiance, ambient temperature, and PV module temperature simultaneously with electrical tests.
Solar Survey 200R Mounting Bracket
The Solar Survey 200R Mounting Bracket allows you to attach your Irradiance Meter to your solar panel, aligning it with the module for optimal accuracy and ease of measurement, freeing up your hands for field testing.
AC/DC Current Clamp
The lightweight Solar AC/DC Current Clamp is a compact tool capable of accurately measuring AC or DC currents in conductors up to 22mm in diameter. When used with the PV210, it can measure AC and DC currents from 0.5A to 40.0A.
SolarCert Solar PV Reporting Software
Our SolarCert solar PV reporting software enables easy downloading and manipulation of data from your PV210. View precise and detailed I-V curves and compare them with module manufacturers' STC values. You can also view measured, STC, and nominal values for each string; calculate and display the fill factor and performance ratio for each string, and generate a performance report for an entire site or focus on a single string with a click.
