Fluke PV Solar Testing Solutions

Solar energy is becoming one of the world's fastest-growing sources of power – making it the first time that solar energy's growth has surpassed all other fuels. Solar technology is improving, and the cost of going solar is dropping rapidly. Solar technicians and managers need to be able to install and service equipment quickly, safely and efficiently.

Businesses and technicians – and everyone in between – can sieze the opportunity to be a part of this solar energy reneissance with Fluke's variety of high-quality PV tools, performing like champions in the most challenging utility-scale, residential and commercial environments.

1. Quick Installation: These days, solar systems can be installed in a matter of days.
2. Reduced Electricity Costs: The cost of solar has declined significantly over the past decade.
3. Return on Investment: Solar has big returns – mainly by lowering overall energy costs, and by  increasing the value of the property where it has been installed.
4. Environmental Impact: Every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar energy produced by a PV system, instead of fossile fuels, decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
5. Silent and Safe: When properly maintained, solar energy is essentially silent and safe.
6. Low Maintenance: Compared to other sources of power, solar energy is easier than most to maintain.
7. Clean and Abundant: Harnessing the power of the sun affords us a zero-emission, limitless source of energy.
8. Fast-Growing Industry: The solar sector is currently one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

Working on residential solar installations comes with unique challenges, such as spending days on top of hot, wet or windy rooftops among panels, wires and inverters. It is a therefore a priority to procure equipment that is safe and reliable.

Building on the trust that Fluke has earned over the past 75 years, they also make quality tools that leave solar technicians feeling equipped for any and all challenges at their jobs. Fluke Solar tools are designed to withstand a wide range of outdoor weather conditions and rough tumbles, inevitable in rooftop work. With durable, accurate and safe tools at their fingertips, new and veteran technicians alike can ensure projects are completed flawlessly and in a timely manner.

To maximize solar energy output, precise panel placement, panel performance, and high-integrity wiring are critical. Fluke’s tools, known for their safety, durability, and accuracy, provide just the functionality needed to get these jobs done right. Ensure that PV systems perform optimally with the following tools:

For solar energy to make it from the panel to the home or grid, it needs to go through a combiner box that works with the system inverter to modulate the electrical current to appropriate levels. The box must be protected from power surges, voltage surges/sags, and power losses. Fluke has built the tools that technicians need to ensure combiner boxes are installed safely. Solar professionals will be at their best with these standard-setting tools:

Along with combiner boxes, solar energy must pass through inverters to make it from the panel to the home or grid. Residential solar inverters convert direct current (DC) electricity, which is what the solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which electrical grids and homes use. Inverters must be strategically incorporated into the solar array installation so that they are away from direct sunlight and have proper air ventilation. It is also important that they are installed at easily accessible locations for ongoing maintenance. Tackle every inverter with confidence with these Fluke tools:

Commercial and industrial (C&I) solar installations are complex, spanning a wide variety of end-customers, system designs, and project sizes. Feeling equipped with the right tools for an array of challenges is key to succeeding within the C&I solar industry.

Building on the trust that Fluke has earned over the past 75 years, they carefully craft the tools that technicians need to ensure that C&I solar customers will get the maximum value out of their PV assets. Fluke designed with solar PV safety, durability, and accuracy in mind, and their C&I solar tools are not exception. Install and maintain medium- and large-scale solar systems, while withstanding a wide range of outdoor weather conditions, and rough tumbles that seem inevitable in rooftop work. By using Fluke tools, new and veteran technicians alike can ensure projects are completed flawlessly and in a timely manner.

For solar energy to make it from the panel to the factory, warehouse or other C&I facilities, it needs to go through a combiner box that works with the system inverter to modulate the electrical current to appropriate levels. This box must be protected from power surges, voltage surges or sags, as well as power loss. Fluke has built just the tools to ensure that the combiner box is installed safely. Solar professionals will be best equipped with these standard-setting tools:

Pairing batteries to a solar system is the ultimate way to maximize the value of a C&I solar asset. It can both safeguard C&I customers from outages, as well as help them leverage low-cost solar power, even when the sun is not shining. Technicians can ensure that customers get the optimal solar and battery experience by leveraging Fluke's bestselling tools for battery installations and maintenance:
