PV Analyzer Z100 Reduces Fault-finding Times on Solar Panel Systems Considerably

Danish company EmaZys Technologies has announced the launch of PV Analyzer Z100, which is a measuring device that reduces faultfinding times for service engineers on solar panel systems.

The PV Analyzer Z100 is a new and innovative measuring device which is able quickly and efficiently to locate a wide range of defects in solar cell panels. Extensive field tests prior to the launch have shown that service engineers are able to save up to 40% of their faultfinding time.

“Our product is basically an advanced measuring device which is very user-friendly and easy to connect to a solar panel system. The device often automatically identifies the exact location of the fault when the engineer connects it to a solar cell string,” says Managing Director Arne Pedersen from EmaZys Technologies.

Until now, service engineers have had to deinstall each individual solar panel in the system and measure them individually. When the engineer connects PV Analyzer Z100 to the solar panel system inverter, fault-finding takes place quickly and automatically on the whole system.

Another big advantage of the PV Analyzer Z100 is that the technology – which is so far unique – enables measurements to be carried out in almost any kind of weather. Only a minimum of sun is required, it takes only 100W/m2, equivalent to only 10% of full sunshine on a summer’s day, to make a diagnosis. Conventional methods require measurements to be taken in conditions of strong sunshine in the summer.

The technology is based on a new approach to the testing of solar panels, which can also be used to keep an eye on the general health of the system. The PV Analyzer Z100 measures and analyses the impedance curve – and the result gives a clear indication of when it is viable to replace the solar panel.
