Weather Station Overview
Overview
ETB Monitor supports weather station integration through a set of components that measure irradiance, solar module temperature, ambient temperature, and wind speed. The irradiance sensor acts as the hub for the other sensors and provides critical data for PV monitoring.
Note: ETB does not supply these components directly, but can help provide vendor information.
