PV-Master 10 - Multi-Channel IV-Curve Tracer
Welcome to the future of solar panel testing with the PV Master 10, the cutting-edge multichannel IV curve tracer designed to optimize your photovoltaic system performance. Engineered with precision and efficiency in mind, the PV Master 10 revolutionizes the way you assess and monitor solar panels, ensuring peak efficiency and longevity.
With up to 1500V and 30A (45A on request) per string all kinds of PV plants can be tested.
The new PM-10 from NEO Messtechnik GmbH sets new standards in the inspection of PV systems in accordance with IEC62446-1 Category 2 and ensures the maximum yield from your system.

Advantages over other single channel IV curve tracers
- Since the PV Master 10 is based on capacitive measurement, it is able to save up to 2200 data points in one curve.
- With the extension box up to 20 strings can be measured simultaneously with one mousclick in around 2 minutes.
- Best measurement unit in the world for measuring high capacity modules with high inrush current.
- Measure at any irradiance >300 W/m² because of calculating the reference curve based on site-specific environmental variables (irradiance and module temperature).
- Wireless environmental sensor possible. (Sensorbox Expert)
World's best Photovoltaic Diagnose Tool

20/8/4 Channel Extension Box
- Measures 20, 8 and 4 strings within seconds
- Automatically, Just one mouseclick
- Considering modern PV modules this is about 400/160/80 kW of power
- IV Curve
- Gold String Measurement
- Leakage Measurement to Earth included
- Automatic Report
- Automatic Diagnosis
- Control Mode
With the extension boxes, the PV Master 10 can easily be adapted to a multi-channel IV curve measuring device. As can be seen in the connection diagrams on the left and right, it is very easy to connect the extension box and the PV Master, then only the strings need to be connected and the measurement can begin.
There are three verisons of the extensionbox available with 4, 8 and 20 string inputs. Please feel free to check the video below on how to use the extension box with the PV Master 10
High Inrush Current Capability (>200 A) and up to 2200 measurement points for IV Curve trace
- High Inrush Current capability of up to 220A
Especially latest high-capactive module technology cause high inrush current. Be prepared for the future with PM-10
- Up to 2200 measurement points for the IV curve
Superior high sampling rate of up to 1 MS/s in combination with power electronics and smart IV curve trace for maximum details
Detect minor errors early
Using the PV Master 10 with the extensionbox
PV Park Testing up to 500 MWp
NEW! SENSOR BOX EXPERT
Wifi Connection and ready for bifacial modules!
SENSORBOX OPTIONS:
The “Light” and “Expert” sensor boxes offer optimal environmental sensors with easy connection to the PV Master. Simply connect them via cable, and the STC curve can be generated.
Sensorbox light:
The “Sensorbox Light” by default has a class C pyranometer for measuring the solar irradiation and two PT100 sensors (one external, one internal) for measuring the ambient and module temperature.
For this option only cable connection to PV Master 10 is supported.
With a clamp it can be easily mounted parallel to the PV Module for correct sensing of irradiance.
WIFI range extender
Extend the range of your sensor box expert up to several hundred meter.
Power Bank
Extend measurement time for full day or full week by using a power bank
Reference Cell:
A reference cell sensor is also available for purchase.
Class A, B, C Pyranomters:
Upon request, we also offer Class B or Class A pyranometers. These can be connected to either sensor box option.
Truly Intuitive Software
Clearly structured. Explicit Menus.
1. SETUP
The instrument has a clear structure that
shows schematics with explanations.
For the Setup of a measurement, only the module data and the string configuration have to be set in advance.
2. MEASURE and ANALYSE
IV curve tracing:
- High sampling rate, (up to 2200 measuring points)
- High Inrush Current withstandability
- Mono & bifacial modules
- Comparison to STC conditions (IEC 62446)
- Ageing effects
- Soiling effects
- Multiple tools to analyze the data
Multimeter function
- Adding multiple data displays (up to 9)
- Voltage measurement
- Current measurement
- Temperature measurement (module and ambient)
- Irradiance measurement
3. LEAKAGE
Leakage measurement:
Distance to fault function
-> shows the module with leakage currents
4. AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC
The patented diagnostic system automatically shows the condition of each string.
Fault detection: Mismatch, PID, Hotspot, Bypass diode breakage, Shading, Soiling, Glass breakage, Delamination, Cell Crack etc.
…. PV inspection was never faster and easier
… no other technology gives as much details as the smart diagnosis function
… in newest Software Update the Diagnosis results can be easily exported to an automatic report
5. AUTOMATIC REPORT
– String Report
– Array Report up to 20 channels
– Golden String
– Customizable and flexible
5. EXPORT
The instrument can automatically generate reports and professional documentation. The user can create reports that include all information (location, comments, company logo, etc) directly on-site or during post processing. PDF reports that are saved on the instrument are always available and can be shared directly via email. Data can be exported into CSV, XLS, PDF.
6. OTHER PROGRAMS
The instrument uses Microsoft Windows© as the operating system. Programs such as Microsoft Excel, Word or Matlab can be added as well as Email messaging services.
