Define the whole station before sizing the solar package
Source documents define the instrument, solar-controller and LoRaWAN-node boundaries below. They do not turn every option into one fixed kit.
- The core instrument measures wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and rainfall.
- This kit uses the ordered RS485 Modbus RTU output. RS232 and SDI-12 are separate instrument-output choices, not simultaneous default interfaces.
- The <1.7 W figure applies to the weather instrument only. The logger, radio, heaters and enclosure accessories must be included in the station load.

How to choose
- Choose the measured parameters from the decisions the station must support, then confirm the required accuracy and reporting interval for each channel.
- Provide the site latitude, shading, mast height, terrain, wind exposure and service access before the sensor layout is reviewed.
- Size the solar and battery path from the complete logger, sensor, heater and backhaul load plus the required low-sun autonomy.
Compatible with
- RS485 Modbus RTU logger, PLC or RTU matched to the selected weather-instrument output
- LoRaWAN RS485 node installed in a site-rated enclosure and configured for the destination regional plan
- Separately selected 4G RTU when cellular backhaul is required instead of LoRaWAN
- Site-sized 12 or 24 V solar power path with a 10 A automatic 12/24 V controller and a locally sourced battery
- Customer SCADA or IoT platform through the selected logger, gateway or RTU interface
Typical package
- Six-element automatic weather instrument with the selected RS485 Modbus RTU output
- Project-sized solar panel and 10 A automatic 12/24 V controller
- Locally sourced battery sized from the complete station load and required low-sun autonomy
- One telemetry path: LoRaWAN RS485 node or a separately selected 4G RTU
- Outdoor enclosure, surge protection, cable, mast or tripod hardware and grounding package selected for the site
- Wiring schedule, register map, radio settings and acceptance checklist for the ordered configuration
Applications
Use this kit for an off-grid site that needs one coordinated weather instrument, solar power path, telemetry path and mounting package. The core instrument measures six weather variables; solar sizing, battery, radio, enclosure and mast hardware remain site-specific. It is a configured hardware package, not one universal stock SKU.
- Agricultural and irrigation weather monitoring at sites without reliable mains power
- Solar-farm and remote-infrastructure weather data collection
- Reservoir, watershed and field stations that need local RS485 data plus wireless backhaul
- LoRaWAN or 4G telemetry projects where the customer owns the destination platform
What to include in your quote request
- Required weather parameters and accuracy
- Site coordinates, terrain, mast height and obstructions
- Reporting interval and destination platform
- Backhaul method and network coverage
- Daily load, autonomy target, quantity and project stage

Frequently asked questions
Which weather parameters are included in the core instrument?
The six-parameter configuration measures wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure and rainfall. Solar radiation, illumination, particulate matter, visibility and noise are separate ordered channels and are not implied by the base kit.
Does the solar weather-station kit include a battery?
Not by default. The battery is normally sourced locally and sized from the complete station load, reporting interval, radio duty cycle, site sun hours and required low-sun autonomy. The quotation states the required voltage, chemistry boundary and target capacity.
Can the station send data through LoRaWAN or 4G?
Yes, but one backhaul path is selected for the project. The reviewed LoRaWAN node accepts RS485 Modbus RTU and must be configured for the target regional plan and installed in a suitable enclosure. A 4G RTU is selected separately against local bands, SIM/APN and destination protocol.
Is the complete station power consumption under 1.7 W?
No. The reviewed <1.7 W value is for the six-element weather instrument only. Solar and battery sizing also includes the logger or RTU, radio transmissions, optional heaters and any enclosure accessories.
What output does the weather instrument use?
The telemetry kit is released with the selected RS485 Modbus RTU output. The underlying instrument record also documents separately ordered RS232 and SDI-12 outputs. The order must specify one output and the receiving device.
What should I provide when requesting a quote for the Solar-Powered Automatic Weather Station Kit?
Required weather parameters and accuracy; Site coordinates, terrain, mast height and obstructions; Reporting interval and destination platform; Backhaul method and network coverage
Where can I compare available model options?
Open the Agriculture & Weather Hardware Catalog linked on this page. It lists audited SG-coded selections; the ordered configuration is confirmed in the quotation.
Will it work with my existing system?
Compatibility is reviewed against your field signals, protocols and upstream platform. Typical pairings include RS485 Modbus RTU logger, PLC or RTU matched to the selected weather-instrument output, LoRaWAN RS485 node installed in a site-rated enclosure and configured for the destination regional plan, Separately selected 4G RTU when cellular backhaul is required instead of LoRaWAN.
