Commissioning and optimising solar farms

Squirrel Data loggers play a pivotal role in the setup and commissioning of solar farms, where data precision and efficiency are of highest importance. Our Squirrel data loggers are indispensable tools that continuously monitor and record an array of critical data points, including solar irradiance, temperature, voltage, and current. Collecting this data in real-time, our data loggers enable engineers and technicians to fine-tune the positioning and orientation of solar panels for optimal energy production. They also help in identifying potential issues or anomalies in the system, allowing for rapid troubleshooting and rectification. Moreover, data loggers are invaluable in commissioning by providing comprehensive performance data for compliance and quality assurance, ensuring that the solar farm operates at peak efficiency from the moment it's brought online.
