Seaward Solar PV150 Installation Tester

The Seaward Solar PV150 Installation Test Kit enables the electrical safety and performance of solar PV installations to be fully tested in accordance with MCS and IEC 62446 requirements. In addition the Seaward PV150 Solar Tester has an onboard memory capable of storing up to 200 test records which can be downloaded to a PC via USB and new Solarlink connectivity allowing wireless capture of irradiance & temperature data from the Seaward Solar Survey 200R.

• Fulfills MCS and IEC 62446 testing requirements
• Onboard memory capacity for up to 200 test records and USB download to a PC
• Seaward Solarlink allows wireless connection and data acquisition from a Survey 200R
• Connects directly to the PV array for safe testing

The Solar PV150 Test Kit allows earth continuity, insulation resistance, open circuit voltage, short circuit current and operational testing to be performed on a PV system and is supplied with MC4 and Sunclix test leads for direct connection with solar PV strings, modules and arrays for safer testing.

When used in tandem with additional Seaward SolarCert Elements software, the 200 result memory of the PV150 can be quickly downloaded and imported into professional test certificates and reports.

New Seaward Solarlink allows the Solar PV 150 Installation Tester to connect wirelessly with a Solar Survey 200R and record realtime solar irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature data. This added features means that users can simultaneously take all the measurements required by MCS and BS EN 62446 standards
