Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AP-WS weather station measure?
Solar irradiation (pyranometer), ambient temperature, ambient humidity, wind speed, wind direction and module temperature — everything needed for PV performance monitoring.
How does it communicate with my system?
Via RS485 through the included junction box — ready to connect to data loggers and SCADA systems.
What power supply does it need?
AC 230V, supplied through the included power supply and communication junction box.
Is it built for outdoor use?
Yes — IP65 enclosure, -40°C to +80°C working range, and a lightning rod with 3 m protection diameter.
