Photovoltaic inverter test record form

How do I test a PV inverter?

Use an AC / grid emulator to load and test the inverter’s output. Verifying the performance of PV inverters under varying weather and load conditions requires simulating solar arrays in the lab and AC / grid.

Do you need an electrician to test a PV inverter?

Warning: Carrying out these tests involves working with live DC and AC voltages. The testing must only be carried out by an ACT licensed electrician. For inverters with PV panels connected, the tests must be conducted at a time of day when weather conditions allow the PV system to be producing a minimum power output.

How to test a PV / solar array?

Use a programmable DC power source to help simulate real-world PV / solar arrays, and test them against various environmental factors such as temperature, irradiance, age, and cell technology. Make sure to test the inverters according to the industry standards, such as EN50530, which provides a procedure for measuring the efficiency of MPPT.

How often should a PV inverter be tested?

The PV inverters must be tested to ensure the safety of personnel who work on the ActewAGL network, such as powerlines and underground cables, and to the general public. The inverter must be tested at least once every five years to ensure that safety is not compromised for ActewAGL personnel and the public.
