Aeron's Rigel MT1K10 module temperature sensor measures surface temperature of the Solar PV modules. The sensor is equipped with a RS485 MODBUS RTU output, a widely used industry standard for analog signals. This output configuration allows for a linear representation of the measured temperature within the specified range, offering a seamless and convenient integration with the programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and data acquisition devices (Data loggers). The RS485 MODBUS output ensures robust signal transmission over long distances without signal degradation.
The sensor is designed to adhere to the stringent accuracy requirements outlined in the IEC 61724-1:2021 standard, achieving Class A accuracy. This ensures that temperature measurements are of the highest precision and reliability essential for assessing module efficiency, predicting energy yield, and optimizing overall system performance. The sensor is specifically designed to cater to the requirements of Bifacial PV modules. The compact design complies to the minimum shadow e ect of the sensor on the bifacial modules. The sensor ensures precise temperature monitoring for understanding and maximizing their performance.
The sensor has an anodized aluminum casing which protects the RTD PT1000 element from the outdoor environment and is thermally conductive to capture the surface temperature accurately. The sensor is IP65 rated, and its rugged design makes it well-suited for deployment in diverse climates, ensuring reliable and accurate temperature measurements even in challenging weather conditions.
The sensor, an RTD PT1000, maintains Class A accuracy with a margin of ±(0.15 + 0.0020 | t |), ensuring highly precise temperature readings.
The RS 485 MODBUS RTU output, an industry standard, streamlines integration, ensuring compatibility and user-friendly operation.
The sensor can be mounted on bifacial PV modules without impacting performance, meeting the IEC61724-1:2021 standard.
