RENEWABLE ENERGY TOOLS Solar energy and electric vehicle charging infrastructure is expanding worldwide at a fast pace. From grid-tied and off-grid, to hybrid and backup systems, critical infrastructure must be maintained maintained to ensure its reliability and efficiency. The growth of the solar energy industry requires new solar testing equipment solutions for electricians, PV installers, and technicians. From solar clamp meters, solar irradiance meters and photovoltaic (PV) testers for residential needs, to tools for commissioning new PV arrays or performing routine maintenance on solar farms or photovoltaic power stations, Fluke test equipment has you covered.
Irradiance and Temperature Fluke Irradiance Meters have been designed from the ground up to simplify the installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting of photovoltaic arrays, allowing you to measure irradiance, temperature, inclination and direction of the solar array in a single handheld tool. Whether working on a roof-mounted system or on a large field installation, Fluke Irradiance Meters are the single-handed solution that every solar installer and technician needs in their tool bag.

Solar Data Management and Reporting Software
Whether you are analysing panel efficiency through I-V curves, or safety testing the system through the Category 1 test regime in conformance to IEC 62446-1, proper data management is critical for producing easy-to- understand reports for clients. TruTest™ enables solar testing, asset management, data storage, and reporting on a single software platform that covers all your certification and documentation needs. See pages 75
Electric Vehicle Charging Station Operation
Test the safety and performance of electric vehicle (AC) charging stations (EVSEs) with Fluke's EVSE testing solutions to verify their correct operation after install, during periodic maintenance, and when troubleshooting. Fluke EVSE test adapters simulate the presence of electric vehicles, allowing you to conduct safety and functionality tests in combination with appropriate test instruments, such as installation testers, digital multimeters, or oscilloscopes. This gives you easy access to tests including ground fault checks, wire insulation tests, and voltage and duty cycle measurements all with a single adapter. See pages 77
