Overview
The Solar200 is an economical solar monitoring platform designed for commercial rooftop or other small to medium solar installations, as well as distributed solar resource monitoring. This turn-key system includes the hardware and software necessary to monitor the critical environmental parameters of any solar installation: solar irradiance, wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and back-of-panel temperature.
Interfacing to the Solar200 is simple and can be accomplished with Campbell Scientific’s Loggernet software that includes a real-time monitoring dashboard. The Solar200’s data also can be obtained via the Modbus protocol over an RS-485 interface, making connection to existing systems simple and easy. As with all Campbell Scientific products, the Solar200 is built for long-term, unattended monitoring, with a focus on ruggedness, reliability, and measurement excellence.
Measurements
Most of the systems we sell are customized. These systems, however, typically measure the following parameters:
- Solar radiation—plane of array (POA)
- Solar radiation—global horizontal (GH)
- Air temperature
- Surface temperature—back of panel
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
