Temperature proiling
In conditions of low wind and high solar load, naturally aspirated, multi-plate sensor shields cause even

the best temperature sensors to overheat inside—leading to incorrect readings from 1° C up to 10° C (2°
F to 18° F). Apogee Instruments new TS-100 Fan-Aspirated Solar Radiation Shield solves this problem
by providing constant internal aspiration using a tiny IP56 80mA fan. Built from industrial-strength
Geloy plastic, the unique Coand̆ inlet and inner Venturi contour design optimize air-low over the

included precision thermistor. his consistently yields accuracies of 0.1°C (0.18° F), exceeding the current
recommended IEC standard for air temperature measurement.

asset management

Schneider Electric Solar Business
announces the launch of Conext
Insight, a remote monitoring and asset

management platform for distributed
PV plants. he Conext Insight web portal
gives users detailed insight into the
performance of a distributed PV plant

from any Internet connected device—
anytime, anywhere.
Conext Insight provides smart insight
to installers by facilitating remote

diagnostics of PV plant issues, which can
minimize their truck rolls in response
to service calls. Installers can leverage
Conext Insight to remain connected

with their customers, while ofering
value-added services. At the same time,
Conext Insight also provides PV plant
owners with powerful insight. he web

portal gives them access to their plant’s
performance data to ensure the desired
ROI is realized.
