View moreHow to Measure Solar Panel Output with a DC Power Meter This is a DC power meter (aka watt meter): You can find them for cheap on Amazon. Connect one inline between your solar panel and charge controller and it’ll measure voltage, current, wattage, and more. Here’s how to use one. 1. Crimp the MC4 connectors on, if needed.
To measure a solar panel, adjust a small stick perpendicular to the surface of the solar panel until little to no shadow is cast. This indicates that the panel is faced directly towards the sun. The value obtained is the measurement from the solar cell's output without any connections attached to it.
Note: You can more easily measure PV current by using a clamp meter, which I discuss below in method #2. That’s right — you can use a multimeter to measure how much current your solar panel is outputting. However, to do so your solar panel needs to be connected to your solar system.
Remove the towel and place your solar panel outside in direct sunlight, if it isn’t already. Once you do, the watt meter will automatically turn on and start measuring your solar panel’s power output. 4. Check the wattage and compare it to the panel’s max power, or Pmax.
