Photovoltaic
For solar panel installations, problems such as insulation resistance degradation or issues with ground/earth continuity can pose a risk to safety as well as efficient operation. Continuous and predictive maintenance is essential to ensure regulatory compliance as well as the prevention of electrical hazards and fire risks, and enables operators to ensure the optimal performance of PV installations.

Photovoltaic and Electrical Installation Testers
Photovoltaic electrical installation safety testing is a special area of electrical installation safety testing as it also entails tests and measurements on DC systems, which are relatively uncommon in most domestic, commercial and to a certain extent industrial environments. There is also the addition of photovoltaic-specific tests that are outside the realm of standard test and measurement procedures.

Solar Radiation Sensors
The silicon solar radiation sensor (Si) sensor provides an inexpensive but yet robust and reliable solution for measuring the solar irradiance specifically for the monitoring of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Due to the structure of the sensor element, which corresponds to a PV module, these sensors are ideally suited as a reference for the monitoring of PV systems to determine the solar radiation.

Steady-state Solar Simulator For PV Modules
SORAS LS
In certification laboratories for photovoltaic modules, steady-state solar simulators are mostly used for stabilization / light soaking tests (MQT 19) and hot-spot endurance tests (MQT 09) according to IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. An initial stabilization is required for all PV modules that undergo a standard test procedure. For the hot-spot endurance test (MQT 09), it is important that the operator has easy access to the front and back site of the module. During the test, it is necessary to shade one cell after each other to take infrared pictures, which requires good visibility of the entire back side. Our swiveling module holding system enables easy access to the front and back side of the module.

Electronic Loads
The DSO and DSOT series electronic loads are designed using advanced linear technology.The DSO series offers two main functions: constant current and constant resistance. However, these loads can absorb full power between 20% and 100% of the acceptable input voltage thanks to the autoranging mode.For more extensive requirements, we offer 'DSOT' models that also include constant voltage and constant power functions. These functions are essential for testing voltage generators such as automotive alternators or photovoltaic panels to determine their power curve. In addition, DSOT models have a basic '0 Volt' characteristic, which means they can be used with input voltages as low as 0 Volt. However, they still maintain a high reaction speed, which can reach 1V/us and 8A/us.

Testing for Si Solar Cells Using High Performance CCD
EL Imaging Tester
EL Testing for Si Solar Cells using High Performance CCD. The determination of luminescence (photo emissions) in solar cells is an important characterization tool. Typical solar cells often have defects which limit the efficiency or lifetime of a cell. Many of these defects are visualized with Luminescence Imaging. By using this technique, the manufacturing process can be optimized to produce better cells. Luminescence Imaging takes advantage of the radiative inter-band recombination of excited charge carriers in solar cells. The emitted photons can be captured with a sensitive CCD camera to obtain an image of the distribution of the radiative recombination in the cell. This distribution is determined by the local excitation level, allowing the detection of electrical losses, thus mapping the diffusion length of minority carriers as the emitted light is low intensity and in the near infra-red range, the CCD camera has a high sensitivity wavelength from 900 to 1100 nm with little thermal noise. This CCD camera provides excellent resolution of 1024 x 1024 pixels with a large 1μm pixel size, multi-megahertz readout speed, and robust USB 2.0 connectivity. The EL CCD Camera is the ultimate high-performance CCD camera for electroluminescence and photoluminescence imaging for Photovoltaic (PV) Cells and Modules. This camera combines low noise electronics and optimal sensitivity in NIR.

Solar Simulator
Unisim
TS-Space Systems is the first company to pioneer the use of metal halide sources in solar simulators for photovoltaic testing. The high temporal stability and close spectral match combined with the ability to control the output spectrum via multiple separate wavebands means the Unisim solar simulator is the only solar research tool designed for the accurate measurement of multiple junction devices, including the new generation of four junction devices. As with all our Unisim solar simulators, they exceed the ASTM, IEC and JIS international standards for spectral match and temporal instability. Using the latest HMI and halogen luminaire technology, the Unisim solar simulator provides a highly stable area of illumination. The simulators also use cutting edge filter technology in order to provide the best spectral match available for AM0 and AM1.5. Further to this, the spectrum can be achieved via two, three or four separate spectral wavebands which allows a high degree of spectral control for research and development. Product support is very important to us. Training is provided at our premises where customers can take advantage of one-on-one tuition with the instrument designers and learn how to operate and maintain their tools. Extensive support via phone and email for the full lifetime of the instrument is included with every TS-Space Systems product.

Insulation Resistance Tester for PV (2 range)
MIS-PV1
MULTI MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Co., Ltd.
The model MIS-PV1 is an insulation resistance tester for the exclusive use in photovoltaic systems. The ordinary insulation resistance testers cannot make measurement properly during generation of PV systems. This instrument, however, can measure the insulation resistance simply by touching probe to the live line whether making generation or not. There are two ranges of PVH and PVL. PVH is for high voltage generation system (more than 500V and less than 1000V) and PVL is for the system less than 500V.
