The PVmet-75 is an aggressively priced model, featuring RainWises own amplified silicon
irradiance sensor and other sensors specific to PV power generation. The PVmet-75 low cost
station is compact and simple to install. The price level makes it feasible for both residential and
commercial PV monitoring projects.
Features:
- Proprietary Irradiance sensor can be configured for either Global or Plane-ofArray monitoring
- 1 or 2 x Back-of-PV Panel Temp Sensor(s)
- Ambient Air Temperature Sensor
- Modbus RS-485 Communication
Sensors:
- Ambient Air Temperature: Housed in a passive solar shield.
- Global Irradiance or Plane-of-Array Irradiance: The RainWise irradiance sensor can be mounted on top of the PVmet-75 sensor assembly for Global mode, or it can be mounted to match the Photo Voltaic panel angle with the included bracket for Plane-Of-Array mode. The irradiance sensor comes with 25ft of cable for mounting options.
- Back-of-Module Temperature: These sensors are attached to the back of the PV panel using thermal conductive adhesive tape. They provide accurate panel temperatures, an important
parameter for efficiency monitoring. One sensor is shipped with each system. The PVmet-75 supports two sensors. The second may be purchased separately
