The MS-40S is an ISO 9060:2018 Class C pyranometer which is based on EKO's universal sensor platform. This sensor can be used in many meteorological networks and professional small scale PV sites where solar radiation is taken seriously.

The MS-40S uses smart sensor technology and on-board diagnostic functions which are now standard for all EKO smart sensors. This technology preserves the high accuracy of the sensor while complying with the various output standards used in the industry. The new Smart signal transducer allows selecting from 4 types of output in one unit (MODBUS 485 RTU, SDI-12, 4-20mA, configurable 0-10mA / 0-1V with external optional 100Ω precision shunt resistor).  The new electronics ensure a great benefit for …

PV Modules performance assesment

Usually, the performance of a PV module is measured at the factory under the so-called Standard Test Conditions (STC), described in IEC 60904. This is a convenient test method that …
