Need hardware recommendations for this problem?
Send the measured signals, alarm rules, site power and communication constraints. We will return a hardware configuration for quotation.
Problem to solve
Solar underperformance is hard to diagnose without weather context. Alerts can help separate equipment faults from irradiance, wind or temperature conditions.
Measurements that matter
- Irradiance
- Wind, rain and temperature
- Panel or cabinet temperature
- Gateway and power status
Suggested hardware configuration
- RS485 weather station
- Solar radiation sensor
- Energy meter input
- 4G or Ethernet gateway
Typical Hardware Architecture
Final system design, software integration, PLC/SCADA programming and site installation are handled by the customer or their system integrator.

FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Solar Site Weather Alert?
Please provide sensor mounting location, weather parameters, meter or inverter protocol, data platform endpoint. These inputs determine the sensor, gateway, power and integration path.
Is this a software-only service?
No. SunGene supplies sensors, gateways, field connectivity hardware and documented data-handoff interfaces for the buyer or integrator. Software-platform configuration and operation are outside the standard hardware scope.
Can SunGene support custom configuration if needed?
Yes, after the hardware configuration, certificates, sample quantity and documentation scope are clear.
Which technologies are usually considered?
The typical shortlist includes Weather station, Solar irradiance, RS485, 4G LTE. Final selection depends on site constraints and target country requirements.
