PCE-PVA 100
The photovoltaic meter has two different measuring functions for determining the characteristics of a solar module. In the automatic mode, the characteristic curve is created with automatic parameters by the solar measuring device. This gives the operator a first impression of the state of the solar module. In manual mode, the start and end of the current value can be set on the solar measuring device. If the area of the solar module and the power of the incoming radiation are stored in W/m², the photovoltaic meter can calculate the efficiency and the fill factor of the cell. Another measuring function with the solar module tester is the one-point measurement. A specific current can be controlled and checked by the solar measuring device.

PCE-SPM 1
The data contained in the internal memory (32,000 measured values) can be transferred to the serial interface of a PC using the software. This solar measuring device was also designed for outdoor use and has a weather-resistant plastic housing. Its compact dimensions allow convenient one-hand operation.
1. Solar - direct measurement on site
With the Photovoltaic Light Meter, a direct measurement of the energy can be made at a defined position. These measured values can e.g. used to check the efficiency of PV modules or solar thermal systems.
2. Simulation of temperature, power, voltage and current of PV modules
Attention: only possible in combination with the multimeter we offer.
3. Long-term measurements
The solar measuring device is equipped with an internal data logger for measurements over longer periods of time.
Solar radiation
The Photovoltaic Light Meter detects the full solar radiation, i.e. both the direct radiation and the diffuse solar radiation of the atmosphere. Most of the energy from the sun's rays that reflects off the surface of the earth is in the infrared-visible band of the spectrum because the ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. Solar radiation varies throughout the year because the angle of the incoming light rays is greater in summer than in winter and the rays are more perpendicular in summer.
