Overview

The SunVue™30 is an ISO 9060:2018 spectrally flat Class A pyranometer developed through a multi-year engineering effort to redefine the ownership experience. Designed for high-precision solar monitoring, it delivers premium measurement quality with a low-maintenance, field-ready design. It is fully compliant with IEC 61724-1 Class A performance monitoring requirements, with an integrated dome heater for dew and frost mitigation.

The SunVue 30 delivers superior thermal offset performance relative to other Class A pyranometers, without the need for internal air circulation. This results in lower power consumption, making it an excellent choice for both resource assessment and power performance monitoring applications. It is designed for ease of installation and maintenance, featuring an integrated mounting system and dual viewable bubble levels for precise alignment.

This digital sensor uses RS-485 Modbus communications. The SunVue 30 integrates seamlessly with Campbell Scientific data loggers and stations, including the SunScout™ and the SunSentry. It is compatible with any Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system or other data-acquisition system capable of reading RS-485 Modbus.

The M12 five-pin connector for power and communications uses a harmonized pin layout to facilitate daisy-chaining of all sensors on a PV string. This simplifies the installation and reduces cost. The SunVue 30 is an excellent choice for measuring global horizontal irradiance (GHI), plane-of-array irradiance (POA), and rear-plane-of-array irradiance (RPOA). This makes it an ideal solution for solar resource assessment and photovoltaic (PV) performance monitoring.

Key Advantages

A New Standard in Class A Pyranometer Performance

Technical Description

What makes the SunVue 30 a new standard in Class A pyranometer performance?

  • Stand-Alone Class A Compliance: Meets IEC 61724-1:2021 Class A monitoring requirements without the need for additional accessories
  • Top-Tier Thermal Offset: Delivers thermal offset performance on par with the best in the market. An innovative insulating housing provides thermal stability without an internal or external fan.
  • Dew and Frost Mitigation: Effective, low-power heater for dew and frost mitigation as required for Class A monitoring requirements
  • Smart Diagnostics: Remote diagnostics include tilt, instrument temperature, humidity, pressure, and power consumption.
  • Open Compatibility: RS-485 Modbus communications and Class 4 IEC 61400-4 surge protection for seamless use with SunSentry and SunScout stations, as well as other compatible solar monitoring systems, data loggers, and inverters
  • Backed by Campbell Scientific: Supported by Campbell Scientific global service, calibration, and technical support
