Photovoltaic installation meters are used, as the name suggests, to test/measure the safety and electrical properties of panels, as well as the entire photovoltaic installation including the inverter. Photovoltaic installations are very popular. The prospect of lower electricity bills makes us increasingly decide to obtain energy from renewable sources. However, installing photovoltaic panels is only half the battle. In order for a photovoltaic installation to function properly and be safe, we must monitor its functioning after its installation and during operation. For this type of activities, you will need meters for photovoltaic installations from the renowned BENNING brand.

Basic control of a photovoltaic installation - BENNING PV1-1 photovoltaic installation meter
For the basic inspection of a photovoltaic installation, it is worth choosing the BENNING PV1-1 meter, which will test the continuity of ground connections, measure the open circuit voltage and short-circuit current, as well as the insulation resistance between active wires (+/-) and ground. This meter is equipped with test leads for direct connection to all modules using standard PV connectors (MC4, SUNCLIX). Selecting an automatic test procedure performs all measurements automatically and safely. In the event of incorrect DC polarity, the measurement will not be performed, which is a guarantee of maximum safety. The BENNING PV1-1 photovoltaic meter allows you to perform the entire test in a safe, reliable, fast and easy way. We recommend it for everyday use by service teams, during cleaning and maintenance of existing installations, and for panel installers and authorized photovoltaics experts. Additional advantages of the BENNING PV1-1 meter include compensation of the resistance of test leads, a real-time clock and the ability to connect additional accessories:
- directly to PV1-1 – BENNING CC3 current clamps
- wirelessly to determine geographical directions, tilt angle, sunlight, ambient temperature and the BENNING SUN2 module.

Advanced control of photovoltaic installations - BENNING PV2 photovoltaic installation meter
During the operation of a photovoltaic installation, constructed power plants should be regularly inspected not only in terms of safety, but also in terms of efficiency, efficiency and the occurrence of possible faults. We can do this using the BENNING PV1-1 meter, but even greater possibilities are provided by BENNING PV2 with dedicated software, which will allow us to perform IU and PU characteristics, as well as determine the Umpp and Impp value. An additional advantage of the BENNING PV2 meter is the ability to configure it with the free BENNING PV Link application (requires an Android device with NFC function).
Control of photovoltaic farms - BENNING PV3 photovoltaic installation meter
In the case of large installations, the so-called photovoltaic farms, carrying out an inspection will involve a lot of work and time. In such cases, it is worth using BENNING PV3, which will facilitate the examination of the entire installation and shorten the operation time. It is also worth adding that this meter can measure open-circuit voltage Uoc up to 1500V, as well as measure short-circuit current Isc up to 40A. The remaining functions of the BENNING PV3 are analogous to those of the BENNING PV1-1 meter.
Before installing a photovoltaic installation - BENNING SUN2 meter
The above-mentioned BENNING photovoltaic meters, which guarantee safety control of the photovoltaic installation, are complemented by the BENNING SUN2 meter. Thanks to it, we can quickly and safely determine the correct and most effective location of photovoltaic panels. This is very important before carrying out installation work in order to fully enjoy the best possible yield and quick return on investment.
