Unlike competing IV curve tracers which are bulky, expensive and complicated to operate, the new I-V400 IV curve trace tester is portable, economically priced and simple to operate via its intuitive navigable LCD menu.


Suitable for both laboratory and in-field testing, the I-V400 is intended for single module IV curve trace analysis, including additional single module and string system performance parameters up to 1000V / 10A. Measurement data acquired by the I-V400 is processed and correlated to the reference test conditions (STC), allowing for direct comparison against the module manufacturer’s published performance specifications. The comparison between I-V400 processed and manufacture stated performance data makes in-situ lab or field module/string pass or failure detection quick and easy. The I-V 400 contains an onboard database of the most common photovoltaic manufacturer module models. The database can be updated by the user at anytime through the included I-V400 management software, or directly via the instrument’s user interface.
