Sensors

Measure PV panel temperatures with these BOM sensors.

The BaroVUE™10 is a low-power, digital barometer (-40 to +60°C) that provides best-in-class accuracy and stability (±0.1 hPa/yr) over the entire pressure and temperature range. I

Measure available energy from the sun with solar irradiance sensors.

Why monitor rain? If a location hasn't received much rain, the solar panels become soiled, produce less power, and should be scheduled for a cleaning. Or, know when a location receives heavy rains and could impact ground-mounted arrays.

We offer a variety of relative humidity sensors, including sensors from RM Young, Campbell Scientific, and Vaisala.

Soiling sensors can help determine when solar PV panels need to be cleaned to maximize PV production.

Real-time and historical wind data from wind sensors has numerous benefits. Wind data helps with project design requirements. Wind can also be used to estimate panel temperatures. Recording wind can also provide information relevant to wind-damage warranty claims. Wind is also the most common cause of damage for photovoltaics systems.
