Advanced Weather Station

The Advanced Weather Station package expands the weather data to a total of six measurements. These additional parameters are incorporated in order to give you a more detailed understanding of your energy potential from the natural resources available on-site.

These parameters include: horizontal irradiance, ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. The heart of this system is a Vaisala WXT510 integrated measurement unit.
