Solmetric PVA High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer with 1-Year Fluke Premium Care

The Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500HE is a high-efficiency I-V curve tracer built for commissioning, auditing, O&M, and troubleshooting of commercial and utility-scale photovoltaic plants. It measures and displays string I-V curves up to 1500 V DC and 30 A, capturing the electrical signature of a PV string and comparing it against an expected curve so technicians can confirm performance or pinpoint problems on the spot. The "HE" designation reflects its ability to measure high-capacitance strings built from high-efficiency modules (roughly 19% efficiency and above) at the full 30 A rating — strings that can overwhelm ordinary curve tracers because of their large in-rush current. The PVA-1500HE pairs with the wireless SolSensor unit, which feeds live irradiance, module temperature, and array-tilt data into the tool's built-in PV model. That model predicts the expected I-V curve at the measured operating conditions and translates results to standard test conditions, letting the PVA software flag underperforming strings against the manufacturer model and automate data management, analysis, and reporting. Designed for field throughput, it can sweep large arrays quickly and sustain measurement in high-temperature site conditions where lesser tracers throttle or overheat. FLUKE-PVA-1500/FPC is the Fluke Solmetric PVA-1500 High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer bought together with 1 year of Fluke Premium Care Standard as one part number. Beyond the standard warranty's repair of manufacturing defects, the plan covers accidental damage repair, an annual calibration or performance check with a traceable certificate, replacement of defective accessories that shipped with the tool, expedited next-on-bench calibration and repair with expedited shipping, software updates applied at calibration, and priority technical support. Loaner equipment is a Gold-tier feature and is not part of the Standard plan.

The Fluke Solmetric PVA High Efficiency I-V Curve Tracer with 1-Year Fluke Premium Care FLUKE-PVA-1500/FPC is manufactured by Fluke. Valley Instrument Service is an authorized Fluke dealer offering full sales support, NIST-traceable calibration, and expert technical assistance.
