Best solar energy industry tools

Solar energy is one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy worldwide and works by capturing the sun’s energy and turning it into direct current (DC) electricity for homes, businesses and for utilities to feed into the grid. Because solar technology has been improving, the cost of going solar is dropping rapidly, making it an attractive, cost-saving option for many.

The rising popularity of solar energy also creates new opportunities for electricians, installers and technicians to broaden the use of their skills and expand their test and measurement toolset. At Fluke we aim to help you find useful information and rugged tool solutions to keep you safe whether you are installing PV modules on a residential scale, commissioning a new array or doing routine maintenance.
