MS-90 Plus+ Trackerless Solar Monitoring Station
- GHI measurements of the highest accuracy and lowest uncertainty with Class A pyranometer
- DNI measurement with <5% uncertainty
- No sun-tracker required
- GPS receiver for easy setup
- Digital MODBUS 485 RTU output for DNI, GHI, DHI
A cost effective system combining MS-90 and MS-80S for DNI, GHI and DHI data without sun tracker. MS-90 Plus+ is the combination of two innovative irradiance instruments from EKO: MS-90 DNI sensor and the fast response Class A pyranometer MS-80S. These two instruments are connected via a special interface box (C-Box) with a GPS receiver and an processing unit. The system accurately measures DNI and GHI and calculates Diffuse irradiance (DHI) from the measurement data and the sun position. The C-box is delivered with a 10m cable, the sensor has a 1.5m cable to connect to the C-box.
The system provides a digital output signal (Modbus 485 RTU) and can be easily connected to various data acquisition systems in solar …
Applications and uses
The accurate solar radiation measurements and the reliable driving require a little knowledge and attention: think about environmental influences (wind, rain/snow, soiling), re-calibration (bi-annual), without mentioning data processing, spectral effects, …
Solar radiation is not only the driving force behind the Earth’s weather phenomena, it also drives photovoltaic energy production. One day of solar energy received by the Earth exceeds the …
