Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the importance of monitoring the performance of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations. It highlights the benefits of knowing the incoming solar radiation and panel temperature to optimize the installation's efficiency.

Product Overview
The RT1 by Kipp & Zonen is introduced as a professional tool for monitoring commercial rooftop PV installations. It measures incoming solar irradiance and back panel temperature, offering a new way to monitor these installations.

Technical Specifications

Irradiance: 0 to 2000 W/m², with a precision of 1 W/m² and a spectral range of 400 to 1100 nm.
Non-stability: Less than 1% change per year.
Non-linearity: Less than 1% from 0 to 1000 W/m².
PV Panel Temperature: Range from -20 to +100 °C, with an accuracy of ± 1 °C.
Calibration: Against a traceable reference pyranometer.
Signal Connections: RS-485 Modbus® to host and PV panel temperature sensor.
Voltage Range: 5 to 30 VDC.
Power Consumption: Maximum of 60 mW.
Operating Temperature: -40 to +80 °C.
Recommended Calibration Interval: 2 years.
Standard Warranty: 2 years.

Features and Benefits

The RT1 is a small, weatherproof duo-sensor that measures solar irradiance and back panel temperature independently.
It provides data in digital Modbus® format and is easy to install without tools.
The sensor outperforms reference cells, is rugged, stable, reliable, and has a soiling-resistant design for low maintenance.
It can be mounted easily on a PV panel and removed for recalibration or service.
Comes with a Kipp & Zonen calibration certificate.

Conclusion
The RT1 sensor is presented as an efficient and reliable solution for monitoring the performance of commercial rooftop PV installations, ensuring optimal return on investment.
