Met Station for Solar Resources Monitoring (SRM)
The Met Station is installed at the heart of the Solar Plant, collects and stores weather data from various available weather sensors. Provides an integrated system of components that are used to measure, monitor and study the weather and climate with the use of weather and meteorology applications. Multiple Met Station units can optionally be used in a PV plant. Different components can be combined on demand to fit your needs.
