Seaward PV1525-IVKIT - Complete Solar Installation Test Kit with IV Curve
Seaward PV:1525-IV Complete Solar PV Tester Kit
The Seaward PV1525-IV Complete Kit (PV1525IVKIT) is the ultimate Solar PV commissioning and diagnostic package for professional installers, renewable energy contractors and O&M engineers.
Built around the advanced PV:1525-IV Solar PV Installation Tester, this complete solution combines industry-leading electrical safety testing with powerful IV Curve Tracing technology, enabling users to verify both safety and performance of photovoltaic systems up to 1500V DC and 25A DC.
Unlike traditional PV testers, the PV:1525-IV allows installers to move beyond basic commissioning by providing detailed performance analysis through graphical IV curve measurement, helping identify faults, underperforming modules and installation issues at an early stage.
Key Features
Advanced IV Curve Tracing
View graphical IV curves directly on-screen to analyse module and string performance, helping identify shading issues, damaged modules, wiring faults and power losses.
CAT III 1500V DC Solar PV Testing
Designed for modern high-voltage Solar PV systems with:
- Open Circuit Voltage Testing up to 1500V DC
- Short Circuit Current Testing up to 25A DC
- Insulation Resistance Testing up to 1500V DC
- Earth Continuity Testing
- Performance Measurement
Maximum Power Point Analysis
The PV:1525-IV calculates:
- Maximum Power Point Voltage (Vmp)
- Maximum Power Point Current (Imp)
- Fill Factor
- Performance Characteristics
Providing deeper insight into system operation and energy production.
PV:1500 Wireless Clamp Meter
Measure operating current and power safely whilst wirelessly communicating with the tester, reducing the amount of equipment required on-site.
SS:200LR Irradiance Meter Included
Simultaneously capture irradiance conditions to support accurate IV Curve measurements and system performance verification.
Bluetooth Connectivity
Transfer test results directly to mobile devices for efficient data capture, reporting and firmware updates.
SolarCert Software Licence Included
Create professional Solar PV commissioning certificates, inspection reports and maintenance documentation quickly and accurately.
This Seaward product meets all the safety and performance requirements of BS EN 61557.
