Fronius Wind Speed Sensor Records Rooftop Wind Conditions
The Fronius Wind Speed Sensor is a cup anemometer with a reed contact that measures wind speed at your solar site. It connects to a digital input on the Fronius Sensor Box, so wind data appears alongside your production in Fronius monitoring.
Wind cools panels and stresses mounting, so it is useful data for any exposed array.
Why You'll Love The Fronius Wind Speed Sensor
Complete site picture. Wind speed next to temperature and irradiance helps you understand how your array behaves in real weather.
Simple pulse output. A rectangular signal (low 0.5V or less, high 4.5V or more) feeds straight into the Sensor Box digital input.
Outdoor ready. IP54 rated and specified for -20 to +60°C.
Long cable runs. Comes with a 2 m UV-resistant cable and supports up to 30 m of cable to the Sensor Box.
Your life, with the Fronius Wind Speed Sensor
After a stormy night you open your monitoring and see how strong the gusts really were. You know when it is worth checking the racking, and you have a record if you ever need it.
