Smart transducer for pyranometers
For years EKO has been manufacturing and providing pyranometers with built-in transducers, taking the signal from DC voltage to Modbus 485 RTU or DC voltage to 4-20mA current. Recently, EKO developed a new all-in-one sensor Smart signal transducer which allows selecting from 4 types of output in one unit. is new Smart transducer also has additional features such as internal temperature and humidity sensors and a tilt sensor. ese additional internal sensors will help the user to monitor the stability of the irradiance sensors as well as to ensure its proper installation and maintenance practices. Pyranometers can be ordered with the basic analog output signal or with this new all-in-one Smart transducer. Following the introduction with pyranometers, EKO will expand the use of this transducer to other sensors and systems as well.

Free heat for life
Digital Solar Corp., released its sustainable, patented, Digital Solar hydronic Heating (DSH) system for homes, buildings, and process heat. e system is designed to o set 50% to 100% of heating requirements/year, and is now optimized for use in Canada. A low cost heat core storage system, located within the foundation of buildings, is large enough to store summer/excess heat for use later. e system is best suited for new homes and buildings with slab oors, or retro tted into existing radiant heating. Each heating system is custom engineered for that location and heating demand. DSH, with dozens of systems overseas, recently redesigned it to function in
the cold environments of Canada. is includes solar thermal panels that work well down past -22°F (-30°C), and options such as snow melt, a back-boiler replace, spa/pool, and high temp heat. e new system is WiFi compatible and 100% on- or o -grid capable.

Streamlined, ef cient rail- less racking for metal roofs MetalX Rail-Less Racking reduces attachments, shortens install time,
and cuts cost for corrugated, standing seam or R-panel metal roofs. Based
on EcoX technology with more than 500MW installed, MetalX has 73% less aluminum to haul and install, no long rails, and speeds installation with fewer attachments and installation steps. Small, simple components streamline shipping and t 30-50mm modules. Ecolibrium Solar’s dedicated support eliminates typical challenges of metal roofs: experienced project managers select the correct roof mount, do project- speci c calculations, layout, and bill of materials, and provide needed details for permitting and inspection. Full solution and optional electrical accessories.

New SunSpec certi cation
Continental Control Systems is pleased to announce the recent issue of the SunSpec certi ed product award for successful testing and certi cation of the SunSpec Information Models 1, 203 and 213. e SunSpec Alliance has certi ed the CCS WattNode Modbus Energy Meter, model WND-WR, the newly released Wide Range Modbus Meter,
and the WND-M1, the Modbus Meter Module. e new WND-WR-MB provides over fty electrical measurements over a Modbus RS-485 RTU network. Designed as a universal line-powered meter, it works with any utility service from 100
to 600Vac, single or three-phase, wye
or delta. Modular and economical, the WND-M1-MB is also a bidirectional networked energy meter o ering energy measurement parameters such as energy (kW) power (kWh), voltage, current, demand, kVAR, kVARh, power factor, frequency etc. e meter module is available as single and three-phase modules and is externally (instrument) powered from 12 to 24Vac or 6 to 24Vdc.
