MS-80SH Plus+
- Class A monitoring solution for Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance measurements
Overview
The MS-80 Plus+ is a trackerless solar monitoring station. Built around the unique internal rotating shadow band design of the MS-80SH Class A pyranometer. The MS-80 Plus+ adds the industry and ISO 9060:2018 class-leading MS-80SH Class A Pyranometer with integrated dome heating, and an original C-Box smart interface, for complete GHI, DHI, and calculated DNI measurements.
A practical solution to the increasing diversity of solar power plant locations and Photovoltaic (PV) applications, the MS-80 Plus+ can easily be deployed. This solution can provide a major benefit in terms of compliance with the updated IEC 61724-1 guidelines, as carrying out both GHI and DHI measurements is a criteria to fulfill the standard best practices when monitoring bifacial photovoltaic modules.
