Weather Stations for Utility-Scale Solar PV Plants
)
1. Overview
Weather Stations directly impact the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) plants. Accurate and reliable meteorological and solar irradiance data are essential throughout the entire lifecycle of PV and CSP projects, including resource assessment, IRR calculation, power forecasting, energy yield evaluation, and power plant trading—playing a critical role in improving project profitability and investor returns.
With 19 years of experience in meteorological and solar radiation sensor development, MC New Energy has launched an integrated PV environmental monitoring system, providing comprehensive solutions for site selection, operation and maintenance, real-time weather data monitoring, and fault early warning for solar power plants.
2. Key Features
- Compliant with IEC 61724, ISO 9060 Class A, WMO and other international standards
- High accuracy with ±2% measurement error and low annual drift
- High integration, high precision, and high reliability, certified with CE and EMC standards
- Stable long-term operation in a wide temperature range of -55°C to 85°C
3. Applications
MC weather stations are widely used in utility-scale solar power plants, distributed PV systems, PV + BESS projects, desert and high-temperature PV plants, mountainous and coastal solar projects, and CSP plants, covering solar energy projects of different scales, climates, and configurations.
