Hopewind Weather Station

As an authorised SEVEN supplier, PAD Technology provides a comprehensive Weather Station solution tailored for Solar PV Plants. Fully compatible with the HopeComBox1000-G03 and HopePowerBoxSolar via the HopeCloud Monitoring System, this professional setup enables seamless monitoring and management of solar sites.

Equipped with high-precision sensors for irradiance, module and ambient temperatures, wind speed, and relative humidity, our solution ensures optimal performance and complete oversight of your solar installations—maximising efficiency and reliability.

The Hopewind weather station incorporates precision-engineered sensors to maximise solar performance monitoring and system optimisation. Our integrated solution provides comprehensive environmental data for informed decision-making in photovoltaic installations.

Key Sensor Components:

1. Irradiance Sensor (PV Pyranometer)
The high-accuracy irradiance sensor measures solar radiation while serving as a reference cell, delivering critical data for solar applications. Designed as a complete sensor box, it features an internal cell temperature sensor for precise measurements. With five available input ports for additional sensors, it connects seamlessly to the HopeComBox1000-G03 and HopePowerBoxSolar via the HopeCloud Monitoring System.

2. Ambient Temperature Sensor
This essential component monitors air temperature variations that significantly impact PV panel performance. By tracking the differential between ambient and panel temperatures, it provides valuable insights for production analysis and system optimisation.

3. Module Temperature Sensor
Mounted directly on PV panel surfaces, this sensor measures operational temperatures that influence power output characteristics. The collected data helps predict performance curves and identify potential efficiency improvements.

4. Wind Speed Sensor
The system includes robust wind monitoring capabilities, with collected wind speed data transmitted to the HopeComBox1000-G03 and HopePowerBoxSolar via the HopeCloud Monitoring System. This information is crucial for assessing environmental impacts on system performance.

5. Relative Humidity & Ambient Temperature Sensor
This dual-function sensor simultaneously monitors humidity levels and ambient temperature, providing complete environmental profiling for photovoltaic systems.

Together, these sensors form a complete package, delivering the data precision required for peak solar installation performance. The system enables data-driven maintenance decisions, performance optimisation, and comprehensive system analysis .
