Overview
The PVmet-200 is our basic model option which features sensors specific to PV power generation. Standard measurement parameters (Irradiance, PV back-panel temperature, Ambient temperature, wind speed and direction). PVmet is an innovative sensor platform for PV monitoring, which is developed by Rainwise Inc. and provided by EKO.
This low-cost station is compact and simple to install and connect to any inverter or SCADA system. As with all PVmet stations, it includes an RS-485 Modbus interface (Sunspec® certified).
PVmet series are turn-key, easy to install and can be deployed under harsh environmental conditions. EKO provides a unique radiometer calibration compliant with the international standards defined by ISO/IEC17025/9847.
Various mounting options are available, including the Mono Mount. The PVmet is supplied with a detachable mast section that can be bolted to an existing structure.
Back module temperature sensors are attached to the back of the PV panel using thermally conductive adhesive tape. They provide accurate panel temperatures, an important parameter for efficiency monitoring. One sensor is shipped with each system. The PVmet supports two sensors.
All electrical connections are made using screw terminals. Standard sensors are factory installed. As a user/installer the only connections required are power, communications and external BOM sensors. Removing the front cover accesses all connections. The cover is secured with 4 screws.
