The FLIR PV48 is a highly effective tool engineered to assess the maximum power and efficiency of solar panels. It quickly measures critical parameters such as maximum power, voltage, current, open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current (ISC), and ambient temperature. With its I-V curve tracer, it offers intuitive and visual analysis of up to 800W per panel, ensuring peak solar panel performance. The device features a built-in lithium ion battery and a large high-contrast LCD screen that remains easily readable even in direct sunlight. The included MC4 PV plugs and clips simplify the process of diagnosing and troubleshooting solar panels, making it both straightforward and efficient.
