FLIR PV78 – Solar Radiation and Temperature Meter with Tilt Angle Sensor

The FLIR PV78 is a versatile and precise instrument for inspecting and documenting photovoltaic installations. It measures radiation intensity (W/m²), panel temperature, tilt angle, and direction, providing a complete overview of the solar panel’s performance. The PV78 meets the requirements of the IEC 62446-1 standard, enabling installers and maintenance technicians to quickly verify the performance and safety of solar systems.

Key Features:
  • Radiation measurement 0–1400 W/m² in accordance with IEC 62446-1 – fast and accurate assessment of photovoltaic system energy yield.
  • Temperature measurement from two sources: internal sensor (-10...+50°C) and external sensor with suction cup for precise contact measurement on the panel surface (-30...+100°C).
  • Tilt and compass sensors facilitate the confirmation of optimal installation angle and orientation for solar panels.
  • Clear, high-contrast LCD display easily readable even in direct sunlight.
  • Wireless METERLiNK® connectivity via Bluetooth enables storage and sharing of measurement values through a mobile app.
  • Compact and durable design, includes a mount for continuous measurement.
