An improved power forecast can be achieved when performance analysis of a PV plant starts to account for losses due to localised weather conditions. Elements such as air temperature, wind speed, humidity and rainfall are all known to affect solar plant efficiency.
Our offer:
National or regional weather predictions cannot be solely relied on for site specific solar tracking power forecasts or high wind safety settings. We offer a MetPak Pro weather platform and MaxiMet compact weather stations for monitoring in real-time the weather parameters that are known to affect PV performance.
Next week we will be exhibiting at Solar Power international 2019, join us on our booth #5450 from 23-26th September 2019. Dan Armistead, our Technical Support Engineer and our Business Development Managers, John Crilly and Shaun Mason, will be presenting our MetPak Pro multi-sensor weather platform, MaxiMet GMX541, along with ultrasonic wind measurement products and accessories.

Gill Instruments has expanded the MaxiMet range of compact weather stations by introducing two new variants with additional precipitation options. Developed to meet customer needs in areas subjected to heavier rainfalls, the new models capabilities can provide improved rainfall data to applications including PV parks, hydrological stations and coastal monitoring stations.
The latest models, GMX531 and GMX551 offer precipitation measurement via a separate connector for tipping bucket rain gauges in addition to the existing features such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, pressure and wind measurement all combined into a single output available via multiple digital interface options.
The GMX 531 is supplied with an aerodynamic tipping bucket rain gauge and 20m cable, allowing it to be positioned in accordance with WMO guidelines. The aerodynamic rain gauge supplied with the GMX531 features a typical 0.2mm resolution and is capable of measuring precipitation up to 1000mm per hour at±2% accuracy.
The GMX551 is fitted with the integrated connector, which users can link with any 0.2mm rain gauge.
“The new MaxiMet weather stations with expanded precipitation measurements have been developed in response to customer requests for high performance in areas where heavy rainfall is often experienced” says Richard McKay at Gill Instruments. “Since its launch, MaxiMet has proven incredibly popular with a wide variety of users and its popularity is partly due to the many configurations available and flexibility offered throughout the range.”
