Detailed Description

The Solar800 takes 1-second measurements and stores data at user-defined intervals for global horizontal irradiance, plane of array (POA) irradiance, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, temperature, relative humidity (optional), and barometric pressure (optional).

The Solar800 is designed for continuous outdoor use, with power supply options ensuring continuous operation in most locations. The system is available with multiple communications options, giving maximum flexibility in data collection and monitoring methods.

No coding is required to set up and operate a Solar800. To facilitate easy setup and turn-key operation, the Solar800 comes with configuration software.
