As the global community intensifies efforts to combat climate change, the role of renewable energy sources, particularly commercial solar power, has become increasingly vital.
The rapid expansion of large-scale solar farms underscores this commitment; however, these installations face significant challenges from unpredictable weather patterns. Severe weather events, such as hailstorms, and thunder and lightning storms, can inflict substantial damage to photovoltaic panels, leading to costly repairs and operational downtime.
Biral offers advanced meteorological sensors designed to enhance the resilience and efficiency of commercial solar farms. Our thunderstorm warning systems, the BTD series, provides precise lightning detection and warning, enabling proactive measures to safeguard assets and personnel. Additionally, our present and visibility weather sensors, SWS and VPF sensors deliver accurate visibility measurements, crucial for assessing atmospheric conditions that may impede solar irradiance, such as sandstorms in desert environments. By integrating Biral’s technologies, solar farm operators can effectively mitigate weather-related risks, optimise energy production, and ensure the safety of their operations.
