SolaX Power Weather Station

As an authorised SEVEN supplier, PAD Technology provides comprehensive Weather Station solutions for solar PV plants, fully compatible with the SolaX DataHub 1000. This professional monitoring device enables centralised management of multiple SolaX inverters alongside critical environmental sensors—including irradiance, module & ambient temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity sensors.

Our integrated systems deliver real-time performance insights, helping you optimise energy production and maintain peak efficiency across your solar installations.

The SolaX Weather Station integrates high-precision sensors to deliver comprehensive environmental monitoring, enabling data-driven decisions for maximum solar performance and system efficiency. Our complete sensor package provides the critical insights needed to optimise photovoltaic installations and maintain peak operational performance.

1. Irradiance Sensor (PV Pyranometer)

Purpose: Measures solar radiation with reference-cell accuracy for precise performance analysis.
Key Features:

  • Integrated cell temperature sensor for compensated irradiation values
  • Expandable design with five additional sensor ports
  • Direct RS485 connection to the SolaX DataHub 1000
    Why It Matters: Essential for calculating solar yield, detecting shading issues, and ensuring optimal system performance.

2. Ambient Temperature Sensor

Purpose: Tracks air temperature fluctuations affecting PV efficiency.
Key Features:

  • Monitors temperature differentials between environment and panel surfaces
  • Provides data for production analysis and thermal impact assessment
    Why It Matters: Helps identify efficiency losses due to temperature variations and fine-tunes performance models.

3. Module Temperature Sensor

Purpose: Measures real-time PV panel surface temperatures.
Key Features:

  • Directly mounted on solar modules for accurate readings
  • Critical for calculating the Performance Ratio (PR)
    Why It Matters: Enables detection of overheating, degradation trends, and efficiency adjustments.

4. Wind Speed Sensor

Purpose: Monitors wind conditions impacting system performance and structural integrity.
Key Features:

  • Robust design for continuous wind speed measurement
  • Integrated with the SolaX DataHub 1000 for real-time analytics
    Why It Matters: Assesses cooling effects on panels and potential mechanical stress from high winds.

5. Relative Humidity & Ambient Temperature Sensor

Purpose: Delivers complete environmental profiling for PV systems.
Key Features:

  • Dual-measurement capability (humidity + temperature)
  • Enhances system diagnostics and long-term reliability assessments
    Why It Matters: Humidity data helps prevent potential corrosion, PID (Potential Induced Degradation), and insulation issues.

The SolaX Weather Station combines these precision sensors into a unified system, providing the data accuracy needed for: performance optimisation, predictive maintenance and comprehensive analytics. With seamless integration into the SolaX DataHub 1000, our solution ensures your solar installation operates at maximum potential under all conditions.
