Solar PV Plants

Electrical Testing for Utility-Scale and Commercial Solar PV Plants

India is one of the world's fastest-growing solar energy markets. Rigorous electrical testing at commissioning, and ongoing performance monitoring during operation, are essential to ensure that solar plants generate the energy they are designed to produce and operate safely throughout their 25-year design life.

Key Applications

Commissioning Testing (IEC 62446-1)

  • ›I-V and P-V curve measurement per string using the MCM1600PV analyser
  • ›STC-normalised curve comparison against manufacturer's datasheet
  • ›Bipolar insulation resistance testing of each string
  • ›String combiner box termination thermal check

DC System Testing

  • ›Cable insulation resistance and earth fault detection
  • ›DC fuse and string protection device continuity check
  • ›DC array cable thermal imaging

Ongoing O&M Testing

  • ›Periodic thermal imaging surveys of PV modules
  • ›Annual insulation resistance check of DC strings
  • ›DC string current monitoring using MDLA-100A-DC data loggers
  • ›Performance ratio trending and energy yield analysis
