ITECH introduces its latest high-speed, high-performance photovoltaic simulation solution. When combined with high-power DC power supplies, the SAS1000/L solar array simulation software accurately reproduces solar array I-V curves, with output voltage up to 2250 V and scalable system power up to 10 MW.

The system delivers fast dynamic response, excellent control accuracy, high repeatability, outstanding stability, and precision performance. It features built-in simulation models compliant with EN 50530, Sandia National Laboratories PV model, NB/T 32004, CGC/GF004, and CGC/GF035.

Users can easily configure test regulations, material types, Vmp, Pmp, and other parameters to simulate I-V curve characteristics and automatically generate test reports. The software is ideal for static and dynamic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) performance testing of photovoltaic inverters.
