The RainWise PVmet family of weather stations offers a powerful add-on to any solar plant monitoring system. Featuring accurate sensors and standard communication integration, the PVmet is an economical addition to insure the highest PV panel output.
The PVmet-100 is the Standard model option. It features sensors specific to PV power generation. This low cost station is compact and simple to install.
Features:
- Adjustable Irradiance Sensor for Global or Plane-of-Array Monitoring
- 1 or 2 x Back-of-PV Panel Temp Sensor(s)
- Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Modbus RS-485 Communication
Sensors:
- Ambient Air Temperature: Housed in a passive solar shield.
- Global Irradiance or Plane-of-Array Irradiance: The irradiance sensor can be set to provide global irradiance when horizontal, or plane-ofarray irradiance when installed to match PV panel angle.
- Back-of-Module Temperature: These sensors are attached to the back of the PV panel using thermal conductive adhesive tape. They provide accurate panel temperatures, an important
parameter for efficiency monitoring. One sensor is shipped with each system. The PVmet-75 supports two sensors. The second may be purchased separately
