analogModbusRS-485

Overview
The SR05-D1-A3 is an affordable spectrally flat Class C pyranometer designed for reliable measurement of global solar irradiance in PV monitoring systems, agricultural meteorology, and meteorological networks. Combining a thermopile sensing element with both digital and millivolt analog outputs, the SR05-D1-A3 offers easy integration, straightforward installation, and high performance for cost-effective PV monitoring systems.

Key features
• Class A performance: fully compliant with ISO 9060:2018 Class A classification and IEC 61724-1 requirements for Class A PV monitoring systems.
• Dual-output design: provides both Modbus RTU communication over RS-485 and a 0 to 1 V analog output for flexible system integration.
• Easy installation and leveling: features an integrated bubble level with optional ball-leveling and tube-mount accessories for simplified field installation.
• Affordable pricing: budget-conscious Class C performance for large networks.

Applications
• General solar radiation measurements.
• (Agro-)Meteorological networks.
• IEC 61724-1 Class B plane of array irradiance in commercial-scale PV system performance monitoring.
