2019 solar buyers guide
Hukse uxUSA, Inc.
The new digital SR30 Secondary Standard pyranometer features an internal mainte- nance-free heated ventilation system. The circulation of heated air ow between
the inner and outer domes suppresses
the formation of dew and frost on the pyranometer optic. With < 2.1 Watts max power consumption, SR30 delivers a high level of performance and data availability. Critical sensor data, including irradiance, sensor serial number, and calibration data, are all available via RS485 RTU / Modbus connection. The sealed desiccant cartridge free design with internal ventilation trans- lates into reduced sensor maintenance and cost of ownership. www.hukse uxusa.com
meteocontrol North America
The blue'Log X-Series serves as the central on-site component to monitor and control photo- voltaic systems. meteocontrol has enhanced their X-Series and redeveloped the plant control function. In the near future, they will provide two variations of the data logger, blue’Log XM, and blue’Log XC, and offer tailored solutions for their customer’s individual photovoltaic projects.

Solar Data Systems, Inc.
Solar-Log WEB Enerest is an enhanced monitoring and management tool for commercial and residential eets. Underperforming plants can
be easily identi ed using yield forecasting and kWh expected energy monitoring. These detailed performance insight views compare inverter output and performance deviations before they can have a lasting negative effect on solar plant return. Advanced diagnostics lead to faster recovery
and less downtime. Users can even manage the consumption of self-produced power and grid feed-in by de ning and controlling inverter output.

Trimark Associates, Inc.
Trimark Vantage User Interface is a
scalable and exible visualization tool that provides real-time SCADA information
and data from inverters, trackers, meters, weather stations, and substation equip- ment to determine if equipment at PV sites is operating and performing at expected levels. Operators can monitor and control performance for individual devices, a site, or an entire portfolio – all in a single, intuitive dashboard. Users can customize thresholds, alarms, dashboards, and reports to quickly assess PV performance and power genera- tion. Performance management con rms that all site equipment is performing at expected levels, enabling data-driven decisions based on asset performance. www.trimarkassoc.com
