Campbell Scientific - Model SOLAR1000 - Solar Monitoring Station
The Solar1000 is an automated data acquisition system specifically designed for solar monitoring applications. The standard package is designed to meet CaISO standards. Systems are easily customized with accessories for every aspect of the station, from communications to mounting options.
Typical applications include pre-construction phase solar resource assessment, baseline data collection, and performance monitoring. The Solar1000 simplifies the process of collecting system data by acting as the single point data gateway for environmental, inverter, and meter data.

Most of the systems we sell are customized. These systems, however, typically measure the following parameters:
Air temperature
Solar radiation—global horizontal (GH)
Solar radiation—plane of array (POA)
Surface temperature—back of panel
Wind direction
Wind speed
Precipitation
Barometric pressure
