ISO 9060 pyranometer SR05-D1A3-PV

second classdigitalRS-485

SR05 pyranometers employ a thermopile sensor with black coated surface, one dome and an anodised aluminium body with visible bubble level. Optionally the sensor can be delivered with a unique ball levelling mechanism and tube mount or dedicated mounting fixture, for easy installation. SR05-D1A3-PV has an industry standard digital output: Modbus RTU over half-duplex RS-485, that allows multiple sensors to be installed on a single network. In addition, SR05-D1A3-PV has analogue 0-1 V output. SR05 series is an economical range of ISO 9060 second class pyranometers for measurement of solar radiation received by a plane surface, in W/m² , from a 180 ° field of view angle. SR05 is perfect for predicting generated power and monitoring the overall efficiency of PV power plants. Different mounting options are available, allowing SR05 to be mounted in virtually any situation. The combination of easy installation and its low cost makes SR05 the preferred solution for commercial scale PV systems. Model SR05-D1A3-PV has a digital output that is identical to the most commonly used photovoltaic reference cell with Modbus over RS-485 output. This allows for easy installation in existing PV monitoring systems, without the need to make major modifications to data logging software, instrument libraries and infrastructure. Suggested use replacement of PV reference cells measuring global tilted irradiance (GTI) in the Plane of Array (PoA) of solar panels measuring global horizontal irradiance (GHI)
