Seaward PV:1525-IV Solar PV Tester with I-V Curve Tracing (Instrument Only)

What is the Seaward PV:1525-IV?

The Seaward PV:1525-IV is a handheld 1500V solar PV tester with integrated I-V curve tracing, designed for solar PV installers, electricians and maintenance engineers. It combines electrical safety testing and solar panel performance analysis, measuring open-circuit voltage up to 1500V DC, short-circuit current up to 25A DC, insulation resistance and earth continuity.

 

Advanced Solar PV Testing and I-V Curve Analysis

Unlike the standard PV:1525, the PV:1525-IV features built-in I-V curve tracing with graphical results displayed directly on its colour screen. It calculates maximum power point voltage, maximum power point current and fill factor to help engineers assess PV string performance and identify potential faults. Automatic test sequences support electrical safety testing in accordance with DIN EN 62446-1, with manual testing available for further diagnostics.

 

How does the PV:1525-IV stand out in everyday use?

The 3.5-inch colour display and illuminated function buttons simplify testing on site, while Bluetooth connectivity allows results to be transferred to the PV:Sync Mobile app. With 1,000 memory slots, rechargeable power and compatibility with Seaward's SolarCert software, the PV:1525-IV helps engineers manage commissioning, maintenance and performance testing more efficiently.
