When Does a Solar Project Need a Class A Pyranometer?

Solar irradiance is one of the most important reference measurements in photovoltaic monitoring. However, not every solar project requires the same level of radiation measurement performance. A small rooftop installation, a distri...

Using Solar Irradiance and Temperature Data to Maximize PV PR

For a photovoltaic power plant, total energy generation does not always tell the full story. A plant may generate more electricity on one day simply because more solar energy was available. On another day, production may decrease bec...

How UAV Ultrasonic Wind Sensors Enable Low-Altitude Wind Monitoring

Wind conditions can change significantly between ground level and the altitude where a drone is actually operating. A conventional weather station may tell operators what the wind is doing at a fixed location, but it cannot always de...

How Utility Scale Solar Farms Use PV Weather Stations to Optimize Output

A utility scale solar farm can contain thousands—or even millions—of photovoltaic modules spread across a large area. When power generation changes unexpectedly, operators need to determine whether the cause is lower solar irradiance, h...

Floating PV Environmental Sensors Installation and Maintenance

Floating photovoltaic plants operate in an environment very different from conventional ground-mounted solar farms. The PV modules may be exposed to high humidity, water-level variation, wind-driven movement, corrosion, condensation,...

How to select the appropriate rain gauge based on rainfall intensity and monitoring scenario?

With the rapid development of smart agriculture, rainfall data is no longer just basic information from traditional meteorological observations, but a crucial basis for irrigation, fertilization, pest and disease control, and crop growt...
