Ammonit Soiling Monitor

Ammonit Soiling Monitor: Quantify the impact of soiling on your solar projects

Description

Quantify the impact of soiling on your solar projects with our next-generation, IEC 61724 compliant Ammonit Soiling Monitor

  • Compliance with IEC 61724 ensures high performance and bankability
  • Switched Measurement for higher accuracy: Switches to short-circuit current only during measurement times span as required by the IEC
  • Broad Compatibility: Works with various solar module types and sizes
  • Flexible Data Analysis: Works best with AmmonitOR for easy data analysis
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Features now active temperature sensors
  • System Requirement: Only for Ammonit Meteo-42 data logger
