Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you want to know about meteorological observation stations is answered here. You can contact us for more information.

What is an irradiance sensor?

An irradiance sensor is a meteorological and industrial device that measures the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. The measured parameter is typically expressed in W/m² (watts per square meter), representing the amount of energy per unit area.

These sensors are widely used in solar power plants (PV plants), meteorological stations, environmental monitoring systems, and smart agriculture applications.

With the collected data, solar energy production performance can be analyzed, atmospheric radiation levels can be monitored, and environmental data models can be developed.

Why are radiation sensors used in solar power plants?

In solar power plants, irradiance sensors measure the actual solar energy reaching the panels.

As a result:

Panel performance is analyzed.
Energy production efficiency is calculated.
System faults are detected early.
Power plant performance reports are generated.

How is solar panel energy production compared with an irradiance sensor?

The system performance ratio (PR) can be calculated by comparing the radiation value measured by the sensor with the electrical energy produced by the power plant.

How does the sensor selection and installation process work for solar power plants (PV plants)?

The installation process is carried out in 4 stages based on demand:

On-site inspection or project review,
Selection of suitable sensors and mounting accessories
(Custom mounting brackets can be manufactured according to your site requirements.)
Sensor installation and calibration
(If requested, our field team can provide on-site installation services.)
Sensor testing and personnel training

The shipping and installation process can be completed within 5–10 business days.

What are the sensor power supply options?

Meteorological measurement sensors are designed to operate with:

9–48 V DC power supply
9–12 V DC power supply
Solar panel + 12 V DC battery systems

Thanks to energy management in solar-powered configurations, the sensors can provide uninterrupted data transmission for up to 1 week even in the absence of sunlight. With their low-power electronic design, the systems deliver high energy efficiency and long-term field operation performance.

What parameters can meteorological stations measure?

It can measure many meteorological parameters such as solar radiation, UV index, albedo, snow depth, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and direction, precipitation, soil temperature and moisture, evaporation rate, and more. Customizable configurations are available according to your specific needs.

Which communication protocols do sensors use to transmit data?

Sensors are available with the following output signals:

Modbus RTU RS485
Analog 4–20 mA
Wireless communication
Pulse output
0–2 V output signals

Note: For your custom projects, different output signal types can be integrated upon request.
