product advantages

0～1500V high-precision curve testing

Equipped with the latest resistance testing module from Qianyu Technology, it provides more precise detection for single components, with a maximum testing capability of IV curve testing for 1500V strings and series-parallel testing for 30A strings.

STC Rated Parameter Conversion Test

The IV test is compatible with over 95% of current photovoltaic panel specifications, allowing for faster switching between different specifications of module parameters. It automatically calculates the current power generation efficiency and conversion rate of the panel, helping users gain a more accurate understanding of the real parameters of the modules.

String testing

The string testing of photovoltaic power plants can quickly measure the power generation efficiency, short circuits, power generation, and other aspects of photovoltaic strings. It can also quickly screen the electrical performance between different strings, thereby categorizing MPPT parameters, screening inverter string efficiency, and improving the power output of the plant.
