HT Instruments MPP300 Installation Tester

HT Instruments MPP300 Installation Tester used together with SOLAR300N or SOLAR I-V, allows measuring and recording the main parameters which characterize single-phase and three-phase, single-string and multi-string (up to three strings) photovoltaic systems.

MPP300 is perfect for use in systems with three-MPPT three-phase inverter and in three-phase systems provided with three single-phase inverters. MPP300 is provided with a practical anti-shock “field” case, lightweight and small in size.

front panel carries the LEDs for operating information and the DC and AC inputs for upstream and downstream connection of the inverter(s). MPP300 interfaces with SOLAR300N via USB connection and SOLAR I-V via wireless connection.

SOLAR300N and SOLAR I-V are used for MPP300 settings, to start/stop recording electrical and environmental parameters and to enable the download of the recorded values. distance between the photovoltaic modules and the inverter is often considerable, and this forces the operator to carry out measurements in different places at the same time.

Therefore, it would be necessary to lay long connection cables between the environmental probes and the instrument. These cables could hamper the operator’s movements, be a hindrance, etc. This kind of connection is therefore not acceptable. In case of photovoltaic installations on buildings, the so-called photovoltaic roofs, in addition to the problem of the distance between modules and inverter, the presence of floors, of reinforced concrete or metal structures, etc. must be taken into consideration.
