PV Module Temperature Sensor

Designed for photovoltaic system performance monitoring, the MBMet-800 Series offers precise measurements of the PV Module Temperature. It uses a PT100/PT1000 Class A Sensor Element sealed in a stable aluminium cuboid to provide accurate temperature measurements.PV Module Temperature is critical for performance ratio calculations. The MBMet-800 Series provides stable measurements, even at longer cable lengths. The sensor is designed to withstand Indiaʼs rough climate conditions worldwide and the harsh electrical environment of solar plants. The sensor is protected from surges of up to 2.5 kV—according to IEC-61000 & IS-14700. The MBMet-800 Series has options available for installation on bifacial PV Modules. The compact design minimises the sensor impact on bifaciality and is small enough to fit between cells of a bifacial PV Module.
