Avila Solar Drafting rents the HT Instruments I-V600, an I-V curve tracer for PV modules and strings up to 1500 V and 40 A. Rental is $275 per day, $750 per week or $1,850 per month. It suits installers and O&M teams who need string-level performance data for commissioning or troubleshooting without buying the instrument.
An I-V curve shows how a string actually performs. A curve that sags, steps or falls short of the rated values points to shading, mismatch, damaged modules or a wiring fault. Avila Solar uses I-V curve tracing up to 1500 Vdc in its own solar commissioning work to find shunt losses, module mismatch and degradation.
Renting makes sense when your crew will run the tests. If you would rather hand the testing off, Avila Solar can do it during a maintenance visit or a solar inspection.
For a single site visit or a quick troubleshooting job.
For commissioning a project or working through a punch list.
For a run of projects or an extended O&M campaign.
According to HT Instruments’ I-V600 product page, the instrument traces I-V curves on monofacial and bifacial modules and strings up to 1500 V and 40 A, runs a quick open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current check, and compares each curve with the module's rated values from a built-in module database, returning a pass or fail result. A wireless remote unit records irradiance, module temperature and tilt during the test.

A traced curve is only as useful as the number you compare it to. For a system-level expected output, see our solar production reports, and our article on shade reports versus energy models explains why the two can disagree. For how design changes between project types, see commercial vs residential solar design.
