Description
Overview
The PCE Instruments PCE-PVA 100-SPM 1-KIT is a comprehensive photovoltaic testing solution combining two instruments: the PCE-PVA 100 photovoltaic analyzer and the PCE-SPM 1 solar irradiance meter. This kit enables complete solar system evaluation from module characterization to on-site irradiance measurement. It is designed for photovoltaic engineers, architects, technicians, and research facilities developing and optimizing solar installations.
Key Features
- PVA 100 Analyzer: 0–60V / 0–12A DC measurement with 100-record memory and three testing modes
- SPM 1 Solar Meter: 0–2000 W/m² solar irradiance measurement with 32,000-record internal data logger
- Combined internal memory: Up to 132,000 total measurement records
- Automatic characteristic curve generation for solar modules
- Efficiency and fill factor calculation capabilities
- Large 4.8-inch LCD display on analyzer with switchable views
- Weatherproof plastic housing on solar meter for outdoor use
- Monocrystalline silicon solar cell sensor with automatic temperature correction
- Data connectivity: USB and RS-232 interfaces with included PC software
