Campbell Scientific offers automated data-acquisition systems specifically designed for solar and wind monitoring applications. Preconfigured solar energy systems, the SunScout, complete monitoring system, and DustSENS Solar-Module Soiling Measurement System, are both designed to meet CAISO standards for photovoltaic and concentrated solar technology projects of all sizes.
The SunScout offers a range of options for sensors, cellular modems, and data management. The DustSENS measures and calculates the soiling-loss index to provide solar energy professionals with the information needed to evaluate and manage the impact of soiling on their photovoltaic (PV) power plant performance.
Systems for wind-resources assessment and power performance are specifically designed to meet the requirements of IEC 61400-12-1. These systems have a wide range of options for measuring wind speed, wind direction, air density, and electric power.
