MP-170 is a state-of-the-art instrument to measure I-V curve
characteristics to evaluate the performance of PV modules and
systems. Especially designed to measure 10W PV modules to 10kW
PV systems, the MP-170 has a measurement range of up to 1000V
making it well suited for larger voltage PV arrays. It is very
cost effective, compact, portable and includes a solar irradiance
sensor, two temperature sensors, and failure analysis functions.
The Sensor Unit is equipped with a pyranometer with a silicon
detector and comes with a calibration certificate. Solar irradiance
and temperatures can be measured remotely. Coupled with its
internal capabilities to display the differential coefficient
and magnification of the I-V curve, the MP-170 is very effective
for failure diagnosis of the PV array. With a built in keyboard,
LCD, and functional diagnostics, the MP-170 can be operated
without a PC. I-V curves as well as various data such like Voc,
Isc, Pm, STC conversion values, and data for failure diagnosis,
displayed on the LCD, make it very convenient for on-site performance
measurements. A maximum of 300 I-V curves with corresponding
solar and temperature data can be stored in its internal memory.
The MP-170 can also be operated with a PC. The enhanced measurement
and analysis software package for PC operation works with Windows
2000/XP and it has functions of text data saving, graphical
representation, auto continuous measurement, as well as additional
analysis capabilities. |
