The new Solar Utility Pro from Seaward takes PV testing to the next level. With the introduction of more efficient 1500V modules and inverters, Seaward have answered the industry call for an easy to use and robust tester with 1500V capabilities.
Its market leading 40A current capability enables the Solar Utility Pro to test parallel wired strings up to a maximum of 1500V / 40A, eliminating the time consuming task of separating strings to keep within lower limits of other instruments.
A single press of the Test button will give values for Open Circuit Voltage and Short Circuit Current, and when paired with the Seaward Solar Survey 200R irradiance meter, will also record irradiance, module and ambient temperature measurements. The large internal storage memory can record up to 999 complete record sets, which can be downloaded as a CSV file to a PC for review.
To make on site testing easier, the Solar Utility Pro is supplied with 1.5M long conversion leads that convert the standard MC4 leads to alligator clips – particularly useful in combiner boxes and junction boxes.
These features, in a rugged enclosure, give the larger scale PV engineer the most efficient, portable and highest rated tester available.
Key features
- Test multiple strings in parallel up to 1500V 40A
- Test at a string level or in the combiner box
- Record up to 999 full sets of string data
- Test open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), irradiance (W/m2), ambient temperature & more
- Free product and O&M training with every purchase
Why Buy The Solar Utility Pro?
>Test parallel wired strings up to 1500V / 40A - so no more separating strings to keep within the limits of other instruments – ideal for today’s powerful PV installations.
> Maximise the time you spend in the field by recording up to 999 full sets of string data – to complete testing without downloading and clearing the memory.
> The highest rated PV tester on the market, the ability to test across multiple strings reduces the risk of accidental damage to the instrument and the user.
> The rugged case design provides more protection against damage while being transported around large utility scale sites, wherever they are.
Included In The Solar Utility Pro Complete Kit?
Solar Survey 200R Irradiance Meter
The 200R connects wirelessly to the Solar Utility Pro and gives real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV module temperature measurement results simultaneously to electrical tests being conducted
Solar Survey 200R Mounting Bracket
The Solar Survey 200R Mounting Bracket allows you to connect your Irradiance Meter to your solar panel and position it at the same angle as the module for optimum accuracy and ease of measurement which means that you'll have more hands free for testing in the field.
Other Accessories
The Solar Utility Pro complete test kit also comes with 2 x combiner box test probes and detachable alligator clips (MC4), 2 x 2m extension leads, an external battery charger, rugged carry bag, quick start guide, calibration certificates and a 2 year warranty.
