Kipp & Zonen Sun Tracker Selection Guide SOLYS Gear Drive RaZON+ is an ALL-IN-ONE Solar Monitoring System that provides global (GHI), direct (DNI) and diffuse (DHI) irradiance and can be expanded to a full weather station with third party sensors. GPS and data logging are integrated. Customer friendly Wi-Fi interface and anti-soiling design to reduce maintenance. SOLYS2 is a versatile sun tracking solution. A wide range of radiometers can be mounted. The integrated GPS automatically configures location and time. Solar position and status monitoring information are available via the communication ports. SOLYS Gear Drive is a high-end sun tracker for all weather conditions and locations. It builds on the features of the SOLYS2 and has enhanced capabilities that make it suitable for use with heavy loads and in the harshest climates, such as polar conditions.

For solar energy resource mapping. CSP, CPV and tracking PV site prospecting. Continuous power plant monitoring. Typical applications For use in harsher climates and to carry multiple instruments. Meteorology, climatology and BSRN stations. Solar energy site prospecting and plant monitoring. Typical applications Designed for use in extreme climates; very hot, very cold and high wind speeds. Can carry a large number of instruments and heavy loads. Ideal for many scientific research purposes. * Also available without radiometers: RaZON+ Smart Solar Monitoring Base RaZON+ is fitted as standard with the PR1 pyranometer and PH1 pyrheliometer. A base version is also available for mounting SMP/SHP radiometers. Even though the standard RaZON+ instrument specifications are second class, the calculated GHI is as accurate as our SMP21 secondary standard pyranometer. The uncertainty of the PH1 is proven to be within 1% of our CHP1 and SHP1 pyrheliometers. SOLYS2 has both an isolated 4-wire RS-485 port and an Ethernet port for communication with the free SOLYSMonitor Windows™ software, or with data acquisition systems. RS-485 is particularly suited to a permanent remote access connection to regularly obtain the calculated sun position (zenith and azimuth angles) and the GPS time. SOLYS Gear Drive has the power to point accurately at the sun in very high winds, and to break the ice that can build up overnight when the tracker is ‘sleeping’. Due to the very high torque and large range of available mounting plates and adapters, multiple loads can be mounted and used in extreme cli
