Solar Prospector™

The Draker Solar Prospector is an all-inclusive solution for photovoltaic (PV) developers and financiers who want to reduce project risk and uncertainty through improved solar resource assessments at sites where PV projects are being considered.

The Solar Prospector includes advanced meteorological instrumentation and a standalone data acquisition platform for collecting and recording site-specific environmental conditions. Data gathered at the actual site can greatly reduce the uncertainty of projections based on satellite data alone.

Features

● Data acquisition base station with redundant data storage,
    communications gateway, and back-up battery

● Tripod tower with standalone power supply

● Remote connectivity with intuitive web interface for accessing site data,
    which can be viewed and analyzed online or downloaded
    and integrated with other forecasting tools

● Advanced instrumentation, including:
    → First-class plane of array and global horizontal pyranometers
    → Back-of-module temperature sensor
    → Wind speed and direction sensors
    → Ambient temperature and relative humidity sensor
    → Reference cell
    → Barometric pressure and precipitation sensors
