A Fluke Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortive Corporation, acquired a Solmetric, based in California (USA). The announcement, made last Tuesday (12), reinforces the company's strategic commitment to investing in electrification on a global scale.
Solmetric is known for PV Analyzer - IV curve tracer – which is essential equipment for the commissioning and analysis of photovoltaic systems. The 1500-volt PVA-1.500HE is capable of testing high-efficiency modules and is suitable for the large-scale solar industry.
According to the company, the acquisition also includes the tool SunEye, used for shadow measurement, enabling specialized photovoltaic projects with the highest ROI (return on investment) for professionals and their clients.
“It is a significant milestone in our journey. Fluke’s acquisition of Solmetric reflects our commitment to providing the best possible products to technicians in the field,” said Jason Waxman, president of Fluke Corporation.
“Their innovative solar tools and the team’s deep industry knowledge, combined with Fluke’s ion to electrify the world more efficiently, have allowed us to transform this landscape to better serve customers,” he highlighted.
Willard MacDonald, CEO of Solmetric, added that they are excited to see the company grow under Fluke's leadership. “With access to its vast distribution channels, an expanded global audience will be able to experience the benefits of our products,” he concluded.
