Reliable, cost-effective, and easy-to-use weather monitoring  

OTT HydroMet's new ISO & IEC compliant WS50PV is a compact all-in-one weather sensor for C&I application with active ventilation and integrated heating, and is designed to measure the most critical parameters. Correlating meteorological parameters with panel temperature and power output enhances performance analysis, allowing operators determine if output variances are due to changing weather conditions or a developing system fault. WS50PV helps validate solar plant performance with comprehensive weather sensing technology to enable accurate predictions of energy production and recognize system faults faster. It is a reliable solution with a lifetime expectancy greater than 10 years. Five parameters combine in one housing, mount, and cable with a single digital output to any Modbus RTU-ready data acquisition system and operators can easily add a precipitation or back of module temperature sensor to the same Modbus ID. Providing accuracy, a digital interface based on an enhanced Modbus protocol, and integrated ventilation and heating, the robust WS50PV enables operators to enhance performance affordably.
