AWS810 Solar Edition is a generational leap for solar irradiance and weather monitoring. High-quality sensor data is included for global, diffuse and reflected solar irradiation including all key weather parameters, plus soiling sensors. The accurate, always-on and long-lasting design is IEC 61724-1 compliant and purpose-built to be trusted for a solar plant’s entire operational lifespan.
The robust, modular design includes turnkey options for plug-and-play ease, while remote diagnostics reduces maintenance time with low life-cycle costs. Secure, end-to-end network management and comprehensive system security enables trusted weather observations — from hardware design to user interface including remote software updates.
Overview
-
- Most accurate, always-on sensor data: AWS810 Solar Edition continuously measures global, diffuse, and reflected solar irradiation and all key weather parameters, including wind speed, wind direction, ambient and PV module temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure
- Reduced life cycle costs: The rugged IEC 61724-1:2021-compliant design, remote diagnostics, and easy-to-deploy-and-use weather station requires minimal resources to set up, operate, and maintain throughout the solar power plant’s lifetime.
- Effortless operations and maintenance: Efficient self-diagnostic and network sensor monitoring enables users to manage and control networks remotely, while the solution’s extensive built-in data validation further improves the data quality and maintenance efficiency with end-to-end network management security
- Unlimited scalability and easy integration: With its future-ready and modular design, the flexible weather station can easily expand to meet specific solar power plant needs, including seamless data connectivity with SCADA systems and cloud-based asset management platforms
- Critical insights throughout the entire solar power plant’s life cycle: Primed to go beyond the standard with the optional analytics and insights related to historical satellite-derived solar data, real-time lightning data, and solar energy forecasts.
