PVBUDDY PVS01

Check your PV system with a practical irradiance reference

Set your reference once. Then use PVBuddy regularly to detect changes in PV performance.

PVS01 is an irradiance sensor designed for practical field checking of photovoltaic systems. In inverter-calibrated mode, the sensor is tuned through the PVBuddy App against the inverter kWh reading for the selected string or strings having the same orientation.

Benefit 1

Flexible Smart-Cal™ reference

Save money on calibration. Adjust PVS01 against your inverter or a reference meter—no expensive lab fees.

Benefit 2

Practical field testing

Test without shutdown. Check your modules while your system keeps running. No downtime, no disruption.

Benefit 3

From module to system

One tool for your entire setup. Works for a single module or panel, a string, or your whole PV array.

Typical Test Flow for Inverter-Calibrated Mode

Establish a reference for a PV string or strings with the same orientation, then use PVBuddy to check for changes over time.

Step 1

Select test area

Select the module, string or strings to be tested and place the PVS01 sensor in the same orientation as the PV modules.

Step 2

Tune to inverter kWh

Check the inverter kWh reading and use the PVBuddy App to tune PVS01 for that string, or for strings having the same orientation.

Step 3

Repeat and compare

Repeat Step 1 under suitable sunlight conditions and compare the result with the established reference to identify any deviation.
