HT Instruments SOLAR02 Remote Unit for Recording Irradiation and Temperature

Description

The HT Instruments SOLAR02 is a remote unit for measuring solar irradiation, temperature, and tilt angle in photovoltaic (PV) systems. It acts as a datalogger that synchronizes with a master unit, like the HT Instruments SOLAR I-Ve or SOLAR300N, to record environmental conditions while PV tests are being conducted.

Key Features

• Multiple measurements: Simultaneously captures measurements for solar irradiation, temperature, and PV panel tilt angle.
• Wireless connectivity: Communicates with the master unit via a reliable 2.4GHz radio frequency (RF) connection, allowing technicians to move freely without needing long cables.
• USB connectivity: Features a USB 2.0 port for a cabled connection to the master unit.
• Automatic synchronization: Automatically synchronizes with the master instrument when testing begins to ensure that measurements are taken at the same time.
• Independent or linked operation: Can be used on its own to display real-time data or paired with a master unit for more comprehensive testing and data logging.
• Probe compatibility: Supports multiple types of probes for irradiation (pyranometers and reference cells) and temperature measurement.
• On-unit display: An LCD screen on the remote unit shows the measured values in real-time.
• Magnetic mounting: The device has a magnetic backing, allowing it to be easily and securely attached directly to the surface of a PV panel.
• IP65 protection: The remote unit is built to withstand dust and water splashes, making it suitable for field use.
• Efficient power usage: The device is powered by 4 AAA batteries and provides up to 480 hours of continuous operation.
• Compact and lightweight: Its small form factor makes it easy to transport and position.
