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 per string all kinds of PV plants can be tested.
With the 20-channel extension box, the PV Master 10 can easily be adapted to a multi-channel IV characteristic curve measuring device. As can be seen in the connection diagrams on the 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.
The “Light” and “Expert” sensor boxes offer optimum environmental sensors with simple connection to the PV Master. Simply find them by cable and the STC- curve can be created.

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.
Userfriendly Menu
Multimeter function
Leakage measurement:
Distance to fault function
-> shows the module with leakage currents
IV curve tracing:
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
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.
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.

Analysing the effects of Supraharmonics asks for Power Quality Analyzer that cover a frequency range up to 500 kHz. Classical PQ Analyzers present problems because of their limited bandwidth. Typically they can measure up to the 50th Harmonics (2.5kHz), but cannot detect higher emissions of voltage and currents. By design, they are not able to be used in the troubleshooting process at all.
In this Application Note, we outline the complexity and shortcomings of traditional measurement approaches we often see out in the field. Fortunately, all these problems do not concern engineers with the appropriate measurement equipment. Our customers appreciate the PQA8000H in troubleshooting Supraharmonic emissions, where its strengths really come into play ..
