Photovoltaic tester IV 600 is a multifunction I-V curve tracer meeting IEC/EN60891. IV 600 tests performance and functionality of single face and bifacial modules in PV systems.
IV 600: I-V curve tracing (performance/acceptance test)
IV 600 verifies the performance of PV strings in accordance with IEC/EN60891 by tracing the I-V curve up to 1,500V and 40A. Through the solar radiation and PV module temperature measurements (main unit wirelessly connected and/or synchronized to the remote unit SOLAR03), IV 600 extrapolates curves to the STC (Standard Test Conditions: 1000W/m2, 25°C, AM 1.5) and compares them to the nominal values provided by the module manufacturer.
The wide internal database already stores more than 40,000 modules, more modules can be added. Finally, IV 600 provides a positive or negative outcome (OK/NO).
IV 600: Functionality checks
IV 600 verifies the functionality of PV strings in accordance with IEC/EN62446 by measuring the open circuit voltage and short-circuit current under operating conditions up to 1,500V and 40A. According to the requirements of IEC/EN62446, IV 600 displays measures as well as their comparison to the previously tested PV strings.

IV 600: A green solution that never runs out of battery
To minimize battery consumption and allow battery recharging under any condition, IV 600 includes a revolutionary, patent pending BMS (Battery Management System) that automatically recovers energy from the test procedure to recharge the batteries. In addition, IV 600 is powered by the PV module/string under test that also recharges the instrument’s batteries to never run out of power.
