Fluke 5600022 PV Analyzer I-V curve tracer
The Fluke 5600022 is a measuring instrument for solar panel systems, used to observe how a PV string or a single module actually performs under load. In practice, it is used to measure the I-V curve and P-V curve, allowing a comparison of the measured performance with the expected output of the system. This makes it relevant for commissioning, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of solar panel systems.
When measuring with an I-V curve tracer like this, you don't just get a single number, but a complete picture of the module or string. It shows, among other things, short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, current and voltage at maximum power, as well as maximum power, fill factor, and performance factor. This type of information is precisely what is used to assess whether a string is working as it should, or if there are deviations that need further investigation.
The instrument operates in a voltage range from 20 to 1500 V DC and can handle currents up to 30 A DC, depending on the efficiency of the modules. This makes it suitable for both standard strings and systems with more efficient modules. You can choose between 100 and 500 measurement points in the I-V trace, allowing for the resolution appropriate to the task.
The Fluke solution also uses a wireless SolSensor as a reference for measurements. It provides irradiance, module temperature, and tilt, so the measurement can be placed in the correct context. The sensor communicates wirelessly with the PVA, simplifying setup and providing greater freedom of movement in the field.
For a professional user, it is especially useful when documenting the system's condition, finding deviant strings, and establishing a comparable basis for later measurements. It is therefore a tool of choice when solar panel systems need to be evaluated more thoroughly than with a simple voltage or current measurement.
