PV8900 Series
Keysight’s photovoltaic (PV) simulator includes the hardware and software to test a single maximum power point tracking (MPPT) inverter accurately. Test PV voltages up to 2000 V and 60 A with a single supply. DG9000 Series software licenses are available to test string inverter with 4-, 8-, or 12-MPPT channels. Most string inverter solutions test one MPPT channel at a time — leading to test inaccuracies. Keysight's DG9000 advanced PV inverter software can test up to 12 MPPT channels simultaneously.

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.

AC/DC Linear Power Supply
Linear AC-DC power supplies are electronic devices used to convert electrical energy from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), providing a stable and regulated power supply for electronic devices. They are represented by the DA series.Linear power supplies of the DA series are characterised by their low output noise and high speed. They can be used as power amplifiers; a sinusoidal voltage of 8/10 Vpp can be superimposed on the test voltage up to a frequency of 50 kHz.Another application for this power supply family is the simulation of the curve of a photovoltaic panel by programming the voltage and current.

Current-Voltage Measurement System
Sciencetech''s IV Testers are electrical current-voltage measurement systems used to characterize photovoltaic cell performance. This current-voltage tester works by sampling various current versus voltage combinations of the photovoltaic cell with a variable impedence load.This IV Test system can measure electrical power from photovoltaic cells up to 20W. The voltage envelope is limited to 20V and the current to 1A. A higher power version, up to 60W, is available. In general, the limitation on this model is the 1A current limit: if your solar cell generates more than 1A, we recommend upgrading to the 60W version.
