Photovoltaic arrays are used primarily in two ways to:

• Charge batteries that are used to power remote loads where installing a connection to the utility grid would be cost prohibitive
• Energize installations where the DC power is converted to 60 HZ AC power through a solid-state inverter

NK Technologies’ DC Current Transducers can be installed so the output of the arrays can be monitored. These transducers are available in bipolar versions so that current may be measured during charging or discharging of the batteries.

Additionally NK Technologies’ Power Transducers can be installed to monitor the voltage, current and frequency output from the inverter.
