Accurate I-V Curve Tracing

The Photovoltaic Analyzer (PVA) is a tool that records the current-voltage (I-V) relationship of a photovoltaic (PV) module or string using a capacitive load. This analysis is usually done at the string level, either by directly connecting to the string or via a combiner box, using fuses to choose the string being tested. The I-V curve can be plotted with either 100 or 500 points, as per the selection. Furthermore, the PVA also produces the power-voltage (P-V) curve and calculates the short-circuit current (Isc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), current at maximum power (Imp), voltage at maximum power (Vmp), maximum power (Pmax), fill factor, and performance factor (the ratio of the actual maximum power to the anticipated maximum power).

PVA Data Insights, Visualizations And Customizable Reports

Use the PVA Application to gather data in the field and verify the outcomes with the Data Analysis Tool (DAT), a tool based on Microsoft Excel that simplifies the examination of PVA I-V curve data. The DAT displays the results of the analysis in various forms. It assembles crucial PV parameters in a string table, marks strings that don't conform, and provides a statistical summary of the entire array. Moreover, it graphically merges string I-V curves at the combiner box level, providing a clear illustration of uniformity and pinpointing unusual strings. The tool also creates histograms for PV parameters across the string population, and this information can be included in a personalized report that can be exported as a PDF. The Data Analysis Tool (DAT) is available for free download and can be used with any PVA.
