Description
Fluke FLK-IRR1-SOL Solar Irradiance Meter
If you’re surveying, installing, executing maintenance or checking performance of solar panels or a photovoltaic system, the Fluke IRR1-SOL Irradiance Meter gives you the 4 critical measurements needed all in one easy-to-use tool. Make instantaneous measurements to determine the watt per square meter solar irradiation, required by IEC 62446-1 standard. Measure temperature by either placing the meter directly on the panel or by connecting the external probe. Find cardinal direction with the compass, and verify inclination of a roof or panel with the tilt function.
To find the expected production at a site, determine your solar resource while taking shading into account. The solar resource is measured in peak sun hours: the number of hours per day with 1,000 watts generated per square meter of solar array. Location, time of day, season, and weather conditions all influence peak sun hours. Use the Fluke IRR1-SOL to determine the actual solar irradiance (Watts/m²) and shading at the site to develop a baseline. Once your system is installed, make sure it is operating as designed by measuring its electrical characteristics and the actual power output of the array.
The performance of a photovoltaic array is based on its current-voltage (IV) curve. Use the IRR1-SOL to obtain the amount of solar irradiance necessary to calculate the IV curve of the power output. Even when installed correctly, a photovoltaic system may not be producing the expected electrical output. In order to produce the expected output the system needs to receive the correct amount of irradiance energy to generate the DC voltage that is fed into the inverter.
Whether working on a roof-mounted system or on a large field installation, the IRR1-SOL is the single-handed solution that every solar installer and technician needs in their tool bag.
Fluke IRR1SOL Comes Supplied With:
- FLK-IRR1-SOL Solar Irradiance Meter
- FLK80PR-IRR External Temperature Probe with Suction Cup
- C250 Carrying Case with Shoulder Strap
- (4) AA Alkaline Batteries (installed)
- User Manual
Make the critical measurements needed for installing, testing, maintaining, and reporting on
solar panels or photovoltaic systems with one, easy-to-use tool.
The Fluke IRR1-SOL Irradiance Meter has been designed from the
ground up to simplify the installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of photovoltaic arrays, measuring irradiance, temperature, inclination and direction of the solar array in a single handheld tool. With a rugged, compact design, a protective carrying case, and an easy-to-read, high-contrast LCD screen to read measurements in direct sunlight, the IRR1-SOL can go where you go.
The simple user interface, instantaneous solar irradiation measurements and built-in temperature sensor make it easy to meet the IEC 62446-1 requirements for testing, documenting, and maintaining photovoltaic systems. Additionally, the integrated compass and inclination sensor allow you to quickly measure and document roof and site orientation, pitch, and panel tilt while surveying, installing, or adjusting an installation.
Whether working on a roof-mounted system or on a large field installation, the IRR1-SOL is the single-handed solution that every solar installer and technician needs in their tool bag.
