SUNNY SENSORBOX

The weather station for PV plants

The Sunny SensorBox is installed directly onto the modules and measures the sun radiation and temperature. In combination with Sunny WebBox and Sunny Portal, it provides a continuous target-actual comparison of plant performance. This makes it possible to detect shade, dirt, and gradually declining performance in a generator and thus maximizes yield security. Additional sensor for optional measurement of ambient temperature or wind speed permit more precise calculations.

Reliable

  • Rapid error detection via continuous target-actual comparison of plant performance

 

Informative

  • Precise acquisition of irradiation intesity, module temperature, ambient temperature and wind speed values


Easy to install

  • Easy installation on the solar generator
  • Simple integration into existing PV plants via RS485
  • Data analysis on any PC or in the Sunny Portal
