Test solar photovoltaic (PV) installations faster and

more accurately

OMTEST, the local representative of Seaward, provides a number of specialist PV
test solutions for both 1000V and 1500V systems, which are used and trusted by
Cthousands of solar PV professionals across the world.
The Seaward PV200 Solar Installation Tester allows electrical safety and performance
verification of photovoltaic installations in a safe and easy-to-use device. Transforming the
way PV systems are tested, the PV200 combines ground continuity, DC operating power
and operating current test functions in a hand-held device. It can also test insulation
resistance, open circuit voltage and short circuit current at the push of a button. The
unit can wirelessly capture and record real-time irradiance, ambient temperature and PV
module temperature measurements from the Solar Survey 200R. The PV200 has memory
to store up to 999 datasets on the instrument and, once downloaded to the SolarCert
software, comparison to the standard test conditions can be made.
Professional test certificates and reports can also be created when used with
Seaward’s SolarCert software.
