Solar Assessment
We can now supply and install a complete Solar Resource Assessment kit from Campbell Scientific, including:
- Meteorological Sensors : MetSens500 all-in-one sensor
- Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) : Class A pyranometer using the Hukseflux SR30
- Soiling : DustSens photovoltaic (PV) soiling sensor
- Diffuse Irradiance : SPN1 for bifacial or single-axis tracke
- Additional Irradiance: Class A pyranometer for redundant GHI
