Sunto - All-out Solar Irradiance Sensor

The All-out Solar Irradiance Sensor is an innovative device engineered for comprehensive solar radiation monitoring without the need for sun trackers or moving components. This device effectively integrates the functionalities of a pyranometer, pyrheliometer, albedometer, spectroradiometer, and a monoaxial tracker controller into a single unit. It computes a variety of measurements, including the Optimal Inclination of tracked PV panels and the Maximum Irradiance Angle by assessing direct and diffuse solar irradiance. Additionally, it provides detailed measurements of Global Horizontal, Direct Beam Horizontal, Global Tilted Irradiance, tailored to different PV technologies, as well as Ground Reflected and Reflected Tilted Irradiance across four spectral bands: IR, Red, Green, and Blue. By enhancing fault localization and providing precise data, it reduces operational costs and increases energy yield, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional solar monitoring systems.

Sunto - All-in Panel Sensor for Real-time PV Monitoring

The All-in Panel Sensor (APS) is an innovative clamp-on device designed to enhance photovoltaic (PV) panel monitoring by measuring string current, temperature, and tilt without disrupting panel connection. This device stands out for its ability to facilitate the agile, accurate, and cost-effective management of solar assets. It plays a critical role in fault diagnosis by correctly identifying and locating issues such as broken fuses, wire rust, connector faults, shading, soiling, and tracking misalignments. By predicting early degradation signs in solar panels, it supports more efficient operation and maintenance strategies. APS is instrumental in augmenting the performance ratio (PR) and in forecasting solar plant production. The system operates within real-time and predictive frameworks using cutting-edge machine learning and deep learning algorithms, ensuring the optimization of maintenance interventions across diverse solar installations. The patent-pending technology includes optional components like a wireless docking station and a solar irradiance sensor.
