Testing of a Photovoltaic Panel

A device comprising:

• an electronic module comprising at least one input configured to be attached to an output of a photovoltaic panel, and at least one power output;
• a bypass link operatively attached to the at least one input of the electronic module and the at least one power output of the electronic module, the bypass link configured to be deactivated subsequent to a completion of a flash test on the photovoltaic panel;
• a processor configured to program a programmable current injector based on a measured circuit parameter;
• and
• a flash test module configured to perform the flash test on the photovoltaic panel.

A method, comprising:

• programming a current injector based on a measured circuit parameter;
• activating a bypass link between an input of an electronic module and an output of the electronic module, wherein the electronic module comprises at least one input attached to an output of a photovoltaic panel;
• performing, while the bypass link is activated, a flash test on the photovoltaic panel based on the measured parameter;
• and
• deactivating the bypass link between the input of the electronic module and the output of the electronic module.
