FLIR CM78-PV Solar Clamp Meter

FLIR CM78-PV​: CAT III 1500 V Solar Clamp Meter with METERLiNK ® Connectivity

The FLIR CM78-PV is designed for both commercial and industrial electrical inspections. It supports solar photovoltaic (PV) DC measurements up to 1,500 V using test leads, and handles up to 1,000 A DC or AC via the clamp jaw for DC Power measurements. The device is equipped with features such as Inrush AC current, variable frequency drive (VFD) mode, True RMS, and Low Impedance (LoZ) mode to meet advanced electrical testing and measurement needs. The built-in non-contact infrared thermometer aids in troubleshooting panels, conduits, and motors allowing for issue diagnosis and confirmation through contact measurements or by capturing intermittent faults with its datalogging function.

Additionally, the Bluetooth® FLIR METERLiNK technology enables wireless connection to the METERLiNK® app on mobile devices, facilitating instant documentation, reporting, and sharing of results from the field.


Diagnose Solar and Electrical Problems Faster with the CM78-PV Solar Clamp Meter

As the solar energy industry continues to grow, electricians, solar installers, and maintenance teams need dependable tools that offer accuracy, speed, and durability. The FLIR CM78-PV Solar Clamp Meter is specifically engineered to meet these demands—providing a powerful and versatile solution for both photovoltaic (PV) system diagnostics and general electrical testing. Whether you're identifying string-level faults, verifying inverter output, or checking AC service connections, the CM78-PV streamlines troubleshooting and performance verification—safely and efficiently.

FLIR PV78: Solar Irradiance and Temperature Meter with Tilt Sensor and METERLiNK®

The FLIR PV78 is designed for solar site surveys, panel installation, and maintenance of photovoltaic systems. It allows for instant measurements to determine solar irradiation (in watts per square meter) as required by the IEC 62446-1 Electrical Safety of PV Installations standard. You can measure temperature by placing the meter directly on the panel or by connecting an external probe for continuous measurements. The device also includes a compass to find the predominant direction and a tilt function to verify the inclination of a roof or panel. With Bluetooth® FLIR METERLiNK technology, you can wirelessly connect to the METERLiNK® app on mobile devices, enabling instantaneous documentation, reporting, and sharing of results from the field.

FLIR PV48: Solar Panel Tester and I-V Curve Tracer with Temperature Measurements

The FLIR PV48 is a highly efficient tool designed to verify the maximum power and performance of solar panels. It quickly measures essential parameters such as maximum power, voltage, current, open circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current (ISC), and ambient temperature. The I-V curve tracer facilitates intuitive and visual analysis of up to 800W per panel, ensuring optimal solar panel performance. Equipped with a built-in lithium battery, the FLIR PV48 supports full-day operation, while its high-contrast, large LCD screen remains easily readable even in direct sunlight. The included MC4 PV plugs and clips make diagnosing and troubleshooting solar panels straightforward and efficient.
