Some digital clamp meters only measure AC current, but for testing solar panels you will need one that measures both AC and DC current, such as the TIS 438, TIS E247, TIS E257 or HT9025 supplied by Test Instrument Solutions, the latter also has a data logging function to enable. While specialized solar analysis tools exist, a versatile and often overlooked instrument for basic yet effective solar panel diagnostics is the clamp meter. A clamp meter measures the magnetic field created by current flowing through a wire using a Hall Effect sensor. Measuring DC current in a photovoltaic (PV) system is a routine but critical task during installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.
