Hello, Everyone.
Recently, I attended an excellent 4-day workshop on the installation of
residential photovoltaic systems. As a result, I plan to install such a
system at my home after I rustle up some additional cash (sizing TBD).
During the hands-on portion of the workshop, the instructor suggested
that we eventually purchase a portable multimeter and clamp-on ammeter
as a part of our installation toollkit. (She was using Wavetech and
Fluke meters)
I have sent this message to get your suggestions and recommendations
regarding useful and effective meters for PV system installations.
My budget for these tools? Within reason (<= $500 each), price is no
object.
Given that I am also seriously considering PV system installation as a
second career I would be willing to invest some serious cash for quality
tools.
Please respond to me directly as well as to this newsgroup.
Thanks.
