【 Model recommendation: TH-FGF9, manufacturer of meteorological and environmental monitoring instruments and equipment, Yunjing Tianhe supports customized services for merchants. You can rest assured when choosing Shandong Yunjing Tianhe. 】 The role of distributed photovoltaic meteorological stations is to guide the scientific planning and layout of power stations, reduce ecological interference and damage. Distributed photovoltaic environmental monitoring stations are intelligent monitoring devices designed specifically for distributed photovoltaic systems. They monitor environmental parameters in real-time through high-precision sensors and intelligent algorithms, providing scientific basis for the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems, and are the core infrastructure to ensure the efficient operation of photovoltaic power stations. Capable of real-time monitoring of various key parameters such as solar irradiance, ambient temperature, component temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and air pressure. For example, solar irradiance directly affects the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic systems and is an important indicator for evaluating system performance; Temperature monitoring helps prevent component efficiency degradation caused by high temperatures. Through high-precision sensors and intelligent algorithms, it is possible to monitor and accurately record environmental parameters in real time, providing scientific basis for the operation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems. Some devices also support cloud platform storage and big data analysis, providing a solid technological foundation for the future development of smart cities. Distributed photovoltaic environmental monitoring stations have automated cleaning and maintenance functions, which can reduce the need for manual intervention, extend equipment service life, and reduce long-term operating costs. Low power design allows devices to operate for long periods of time on battery power, making them ideal for remote areas or outdoor work environments with incomplete power infrastructure. Modular design allows for the addition of different sensor components according to specific needs to meet the requirements of specific environmental monitoring tasks.

1、 Scope of application
Distributed photovoltaic power generation refers to the photovoltaic power generation facilities that are built and operated at or near the user's site, with the user's self use as the main feature, excess electricity connected to the grid, and balanced and regulated in the distribution network system.
In order to ensure the normal operation and data analysis of photovoltaic power plants, it is usually necessary to equip a distributed photovoltaic power generation environment monitoring system to monitor indicators such as total solar radiation, surrounding environmental temperature, wind speed and direction, and photovoltaic module temperature.
The distributed photovoltaic power generation environmental monitoring system can be connected to the monitoring system, which displays, records, and analyzes the data of the environmental monitoring system. It can also be connected to the inverter control system, which analyzes the sensor data to ensure the effective operation of the photovoltaic power station.
