PV-Master 10 - Multi-Channel IV-Curve Tracer

Welcome to the future of solar panel testing with the PV Master 10, the cutting-edge multichannel IV curve tracer designed to optimize your photovoltaic system performance. Engineered with precision and efficiency in mind, the PV Master 10 revolutionizes the way you assess and monitor solar panels, ensuring peak efficiency and longevity.

With up to 1500V and 30A (45A on request) per string all kinds of PV plants can be tested.

The new PM-10 from NEO Messtechnik GmbH sets new standards in the inspection of PV systems in accordance with IEC62446-1 Category 2 and ensures the maximum yield from your system.

Advantages over other single channel IV curve tracers

Amount of Datapoints:

Since the PV Master 10 is based on capacitive measurement, it is able to save up to 2200 data points in one curve.

With the extension box up to 20 strings can be measured simultaneously with one mousclick in around 1 minute.

World's best Photovoltaic Diagnose Tool

STRING EXTENSIONBOXES

With the extension boxes, the PV Master 10 can easily be adapted to a multi-channel IV curve measuring device. As can be seen in the connection diagrams on the left and right, it is very easy to connect the extension box and the PV Master, then only the strings need to be connected and the measurement can begin.

There are three verisons of the extensionbox availavle with 4, 8 and 20 string inputs. Please feel free to check the video below on how to use the extension box with the PV Master 10
