Overview

The MS-90 Plus+ is a trackerless solar monitoring station. Built around the unique internal rotating mirror design of the MS-90 DNI Sensor, the MS-90 Plus+ adds the industry and ISO 9060:2018 class-leading MS-80SH Class A Pyranometer with integrated dome heating, and an original C-Box smart interface, for complete DNI, GHI, and calculated DHI measurements.

A practical solution to the increasing diversity of solar power plant locations and Photovoltaic (PV) applications, the MS-90 Plus+ can easily be deployed on rooftops or other inaccessible areas, and is an incredibly robust solution for difficult to reach installations where regular maintenance may be difficult or impossible.

Description

MS-90 DNI Sensor

A revolutionary design with proven reliability, the internal rotating mirror of the MS-90 DNI Sensor is based on the hugely successful MS-093 sunshine duration meter, deployed across Japan for over 10 years at over 800 AMeDaS network weather stations. Designed to accurately measure Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) without a sun-tracker, the MS-90 is ideal for solar energy monitoring systems and meteorological networks.
