Advanced Temperature Sensing for Solar Panels
The Temmeter represents a breakthrough in temperature monitoring for photovoltaic systems. This high-resistance temperature probe is specifically engineered to provide highly accurate temperature readings of solar panels, crucial for calculating the true Performance Ratio (PR) of photovoltaic installations. Based on a PT100 temperature sensor, the Temmeter combines precision, durability, and ease of installation in a cost-effective package.
Innovative Adhesive Mounting System
One of the standout features of the Temmeter is its powerful adhesive fixing mechanism. This unique design allows for quick and easy installation without the need for additional mounting systems, significantly reducing installation time and costs. The strong adhesive is capable of bonding even to surfaces with low surface tension, such as Tedlar, ensuring a secure and long-lasting attachment to solar panels.
Rapid Response to Temperature Variations
In the dynamic environment of a solar installation, temperature changes can occur rapidly. The Temmeter is designed to keep pace with these fluctuations, boasting a response rate of less than 5 seconds for temperature changes of 2°C or more. This exceptionally quick response time, coupled with high thermal transmittance, enables precise real-time monitoring of panel temperatures, critical for accurate Performance Ratio calculations and system optimization.
Wide Temperature Range and High Precision
Capable of measuring temperatures from -40°C to +120°C, the Temmeter covers the full spectrum of potential operating conditions for photovoltaic panels. The sensor’s precision of ±0.25°C and accuracy of ±0.3°C exceed industry standards, providing reliable data for both research and commercial applications. This high level of accuracy is particularly valuable in regions where panel temperatures can reach extremes, such as Southern Europe, where summer temperatures can cause panel temperatures to soar to 85°C, potentially reducing power output by up to 25%.
Durable Construction for Outdoor Use
Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, the Temmeter features a PT100 Class A sensing element encased in a white, non-hygroscopic plastic casing resistant up to 130°C. This casing exhibits neutral thermal behavior even under direct radiation, ensuring accurate measurements regardless of sunlight exposure. The sensor’s cable is shielded and features external insulation resistant to high temperatures and UV radiation, providing excellent protection against environmental factors.
Flexible Connectivity Options
The Temmeter is available with two connection options to suit different installation requirements. Users can choose between an M8 2-pole IP67-rated connector for secure, weather-resistant connections, or a version with three loose pins (white-red) for custom wiring solutions. This flexibility allows for easy integration with various data logging and monitoring systems.
Cost-Effective Solution
While offering performance comparable to more expensive models like the Temmeter PRO, the Temmeter’s adhesive fixing system makes it a more economical choice without sacrificing efficiency. This makes it an excellent option for large-scale installations or projects with budget constraints.
