AP-WS PV Weather Station

An all-in-one environmental monitoring station designed for PV systems: solar irradiation (pyranometer), ambient temperature & humidity, wind speed & direction, and module temperature — with RS485 communication, IP65 protection and a complete mounting kit.

IP65RS485-40°C to +80°C

Available for Order

Accurate real-time data to evaluate PV system generation efficiency. Project pricing on request.

Key Features

✓All-in-one monitoring — irradiation, ambient temperature & humidity, wind speed & direction, and module temperature in a single station.
✓Secondary-standard pyranometer — ISO 9060:1990 secondary standard, measuring 0–4000 W/m² across 270–3000 nm.
✓RS485 communication — standard serial interface via the junction box, ready for data loggers and SCADA integration.
✓Built for the field — IP65 enclosure, -40°C to +80°C working range, lightning rod with 3 m protection diameter.
✓Complete mounting kit — 1.5 m stand, junction box, lightning protection and all mounting hardware included.
✓Evaluate plant performance — accurate real-time environmental data for PR calculation and generation analysis.
