PV Simulator / Hybrid Modular

PV simulation and hybrid modular power platforms from ActionPower and Preen, for solar inverter test, MPPT validation, and combined AC/DC/PV configurations.

PV simulators reproduce the I-V curve behaviour of a solar array, letting inverter and MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithms be validated against realistic panel characteristics without needing an actual array or sunlight. Hybrid modular platforms extend this further, combining PV, DC, and AC capability in one chassis so a single instrument can cover an inverter's full input and output test requirements as the program evolves, rather than committing to fixed standalone units upfront.

ActionPower's HELION offers a true modular mainframe with interchangeable PV, DC, and AC channels, while Preen's ADG+ provides high-power dedicated DC delivery for PV inverter and battery simulation.

Preen

Available as a Containerized / IP54 Option

The Preen ADG+ Series can be built into a customized outdoor container or upgraded to an IP54-rated enclosure, following the same approach as Preen's dedicated BPS shore power range — useful for ports, construction sites, remote installations, and other high humidity, heat, dust, or corrosion-exposed environments. Standard indoor chassis remain the default; contact Finch to configure a containerized or IP54 version for your application.

ADG+ Series

High-Power Programmable DC Power Supply, 30-300kW

A high-power DC platform for PV inverter simulation, EV motor/compressor test, and battery work, with output up to 1600V/2500A across 64 models covering 12 voltage ranges.

ActionPower

HELION Series

One Mainframe, Interchangeable PV, DC, and AC Modules for Combined Inverter Test

A shared 6-channel rack-mount mainframe accepting any mix of PV, bidirectional DC, and AC modules, letting labs scale from PV-only testing to combined PV + battery + AC grid validation on one chassis.
