OTT HydroMet - Veralto news
When Solar Team Twente crossed the finish line of the 2025 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in second place, they didn’t just prove the power of solar energy – they demonstrated how innovation and strategy can overcome the harshest conditions. This 3,021 km race through the Australian outback is a tru
enewable energy sources are on the rise, in recent years mainly thanks to photovoltaics. But various challenges are about to slow down its dynamic growth: Grid challenges, unsolved storage issues, land availability – to only name a few.
At this year’s Solarplaza Asset Management conference in P
The team at OTT HydroMet is excited to announce that our Class A irradiance sensor, the Kipp & Zonen SMP12 won an Innovation Award at the inaugural Veralto Innovation Conference (VIC).
Held in Waltham, Massachusetts at Veralto headquarters, over 80 engineering and product management leaders came together for three days of discussions and knowledge exchange focused on “Powering Growth Through Innovation.”
The pioneering soiling monitoring system Kipp & Zonen DustIQ is becoming even better. From now on, OTT HydroMet provides the DustIQ with a new firmware that simplifies both handling and calibration. Active users can update to the new firmware, too. Read this article to learn how.
Better response to soiling with increased sensitivity
Measurements taken outdoor in various desert regions across the world show that the DustIQ underestimated the degree
It is no longer a secret that fossil fuels such as hard coal and lignite are harmful to the environment. Germany would like to become greener and continue to rely on renewable energies as a result of the energy revolution. Intelligent technology in particular should support people in this and make power generation more eco-friendly.

Nuclear and coal-fired power generation has had a negative impact on the environm
In the latest issue of the North American Clean Energy magazine there`s an article about efficient solar monitoring and suitable Lufft solutions.
In the November 2017 edition of the North American Clean Energy magazine you find an article about efficient solar plant monitoring. Here we explain, which parameters are important to observe and which all-in-one sensors from Lufft are a good choice for this task.
Many environmental factors influence the performance of solar plants. The new whitepaper explains why it is important to monitor these factors and gives valuable tips on how to choose the right weather sensor.
Learn in our free whitepaper what counts when choosing a weather monitoring system for solar plants.
What do you think? Does the replacement of mechanical wind sensors trough ultrasonic anemometers in wind turbine control pay off after less than a few years?
You will find the answer in the free to download Cost Benefit Analysis! We captured the 5 year cost of different mechanical wind sensors and compared it with the cost of ultrasonic anemometers for wind turbine control!
296 turbines of the AES Corporation are located by Buffalo Gap, Texas, US. With a capacity of 524 MW it`s the world`s seventh largest wind farm to-date.
The article link below provides a summary of how Performance Engineer at AES, Tristan Lee, was able to optimize the performance of its aging fleet using latest in technology, that includes the Lufft Ventus Ultrasonic Wind Speed and Wind Direction Sensor.
Tristan was able
New solar PV farm projects require the use of meteorological (MET) weather stations to achieve and maintain efficiencies critical to power and revenue generation. Nor-Cal Controls ES, Inc. has meticulously engineered the Tahoe™ MET station to meet and exceed the exacting demands of this new industry using Lufft’s weather sensor.
