PVmet 75
The PVmetTM-75 is an aggressively priced model, featuring RainWise’s own amplified silicon irradiance sensor and other sensors specific to PV power generation. The PVmetTM-75 low cost station is compact and simple to install. The price level makes it feasible for both residential and commercial PV monitoring.
Features
Sensors & Options
Global Irradiance or Plane-of-Array Irradiance.
The RainWise irradiance sensor can be mounted on top of the PVmetTM-75 sensor assembly for Global mode, or it can be mounted to match the Photo Voltaic panel angle with the included bracket for Plane-Of-Array mode. The irradiance sensor comes with 25ft of cable for mounting options.
Features
- Propietary Irradiance sensor can be configured for either Global or Plane-of-Array monitoring
- 1 or 2 x Black-of-PV Panel Temp Sensors
- Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Modbus RS-485 Communication
- Ethernet Modbus TCP option available
- SunSpec Compatible
Sensors & Options
Ambient Air Temperature.
Housed in a passive solar shield.
The RainWise irradiance sensor can be mounted on top of the PVmetTM-75 sensor assembly for Global mode, or it can be mounted to match the Photo Voltaic panel angle with the included bracket for Plane-Of-Array mode. The irradiance sensor comes with 25ft of cable for mounting options.
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 PVmetTM-75 supports two sensors. The second may be purchased separately.
