The Metrel MI 3116 Solar PV Analyser XA is a dedicated photovoltaic commissioning and maintenance instrument, purpose-built to help professionals verify electrical safety, trace I-V curves and assess overall system performance. Available for rent or hire, it streamlines on-site testing for installers, electricians and renewable-energy consultants.
Combining multiple PV measurement functions into a single handheld platform, the MI 3116 captures key parameters such as open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, insulation resistance and module/string I-V characteristics. When paired with its wireless reference cell, the instrument automatically converts results to Standard Test Conditions (STC) and calculates performance ratio, enabling fast, data-driven decisions in the field without complex post-processing.
Key Features:
- I-V Curve Tracing: Records module and string curves up to 1000 V / 40 A, instantly highlighting mismatch or shading issues.
- STC Conversion: Built-in algorithms adjust for actual irradiance and temperature, delivering comparable results under Standard Test Conditions.
- Electrical Safety Tests: Measures continuity, insulation resistance, open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current in line with IEC 62446.
- On-board Memory & Reporting: Stores thousands of tests and exports data to PC software for detailed analysis and PDF report generation.
- Rugged Field Design: Lightweight, battery-powered unit with sunlight-readable display for reliable operation on rooftops and remote sites.
