What Else We Do
Commissioning Solar Farms
IV Curve Tracer
IV Curve testing is the new standard in the Solar industry for PV performance modeling; an IV Curve tester can detect any malfunction within a PV strings or even help us find lousy PV connectors. This testing considers temperature, irradiance, and tilt sensing in the graphic it generates. At Montes Electric, we can provide you with a complete IV Curve analysis of your Solar Farm.
Insulation Resistance
An insulation resistance must be performed on all the AC and DC wires of a solar farm; this test will help us find pinched wires or wire leakage problems before they become a significant liability for your Solar Farm. If your installer or EPC did not provide you with an insulation resistance report, you might need to take action right away to guarantee the longevity of your solar investment.
