Overview
The UTHD is a durable instrument tower that can be used in a variety of monitoring applications. The UTHD is an aluminum, corrosion-resistant instrumentation tower with four tower height options and high wind load ratings at user-selectable tower heights.
Data logger and power supply enclosures, solar panel(s), crossams, and other meteorological instrumentation mount to the tower legs. An optional Sun Tracker Mount provides a sturdy platform at the top of the UTHD for permanent deployment of a precision Sun Tracker for advanced solar resource assessment and power performance monitoring. This optional mount works with Sun Trackers such as Kipp & Zonen (Solys2) or EKO Instruments (STR-21G or STR-22G).
