Solar Power Meter & DMM

The CEM LA-1017 combines a solar power meter with a digital multimeter for electricians and solar installers who need to measure irradiance and verify electrical parameters in one handheld tool. It reads sunlight up to 1999 w/m² or 634 BTU/(ft²·h) with high accuracy and rapid response. A data hold function freezes readings while maximum and minimum capture tracks extremes during surveys.

Battery and Manual Requirements

The standard package excludes batteries because air shipping regulations prohibit them, so buyers must source suitable cells locally before first use. An English user manual is not included in the box; the supplier directs customers to request it from their support channel after purchase. Ensure you can obtain both items before relying on the meter for site work.

Measurement Flexibility

Unit selection switches between w/m² and BTU/(ft²·h) with a manual scale range, and the display shows units and polarity for clear reading. Direct reading requires no adjustments, while low battery indication warns when replacement is needed. The compact red housing measures 162 mm by 74.5 mm by 44 mm for tool-bag portability.

Questions about this item

Does the LA-1017 ship with batteries or must I buy them separately?

The package excludes batteries; purchase standard cells locally before first use.

Which measurement scale should I select on the LA-1017 for my solar installation?

Choose w/m² up to 1999 or BTU/(ft²·h) up to 634 depending on the reporting standard your project requires.

What do the 1999 w/m² and 634 BTU/(ft²·h) limits mean when I test a panel outdoors?

They are the maximum sunlight intensities the meter can display; readings above those values will not register.
