Solar and hydropower are two pillars of the global renewable energy mix, but their true potential emerges when they work together. Research from the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory suggests that hybrid systems combining these sources could unlock energy outputs in the range of thousands of terawatts. A g
In the world of solar energy measurement, precision and reliability are non-negotiable. For around a century, Kipp & Zonen has set the benchmark in solar irradiance monitoring, and nothing illustrates this legacy better than the long-standing partnership with the University of Applied Sciences in Saarland, Ger

To ensure top performance of solar PV installations, leading irradiance measurement instrumentation is required for both site assessment and resource monitoring. The quality of pyranometers and pyrheliometers is defined by the international standard ISO 9060. Within its highest Class A, OTT HydroMet manufactures three different smart pyranometers under their Kipp & Zonen brand.
Below we provide an overview on the international standard ISO 9060 and our Class A certified Kipp &

In early 2023, the world’s largest and most efficient solar concentrator was installed in Western India to power a hospital and research center. The impressive construction will produce steam for multiple applications as well as electricity for air conditioners. To maximize irradiance yield, the engineers are aligning the 26-ton concentrator with the path of the sun, utilizing data from the RaZON+ sun tracker by OTT HydroMet’s product brand Kipp & Zonen.

A complete measurement of solar irradiance includes global (GHI), direct (DNI), and diffuse (DHI or DIF) radiation. To accomplish this, a high-quality solar monitoring station typically comprises an automatic sun tracker fitted with instruments to measure these components individually. Depending on the application, long-wave radiation and reflected short-wave radiation may be added to provide the total radiation balance. This is especially relevant for meteorological and climatological observ

Solar demand is surging. Modern PV plants need fast responding precise solutions that are easy to install and integrate, ones that will last. Our new pyranometer, the Kipp & Zonen SMP12 can help you achieve this. On this page, we present our webinar with Clive Lee - Technical Sales and Service Consultant, Dr. Joop Mes - Senior Scientist, and Brandon Sims - Global Product Manager, who present the latest addition to the trusted family of Kipp & Zonen solar radiation instruments.
Voilà, here is the third issue of OTT HydroMet Insights! This time, we take a detailed look at the solar energy landscape, international standards, new applications and technologies.
Around the world, the demand for renewable energy is growing. Photovoltaics play a key role in this trend. To monitor the performance of PV plants, accurate, reliable, and easy-tointegrate measurement solutions are key.
In this edition of the Solar Energy Insights, we would like
