Description
RaZON+ sun tracker for solar farms
Features:
- Pyrheliometer (can be upgraded to SHP1)
- Pyranometer (can be upgraded to SMP versions)
- Accurate sun tracker
- Wi-Fi capabilities
- Low maintenance
- Internal data logger with web access
- Anti-soiling technology.
The RaZON+ is ideal for planning and monitoring concentrated solar power stations so heliostats can be optimally positioned and orientated.
Using RS485 Modbus communications, integration of a compact weather station with a RaZON+ is possible.
