Renewable Energy Loggers, Solar Irradiance Loggers
Offer of full range of loggers Acksen-Electrocorder, Data Logger range will record patterns of Directional Flow of Energy, Onsite Solar Irradiance, Charging Circuits, Photovoltaic Cells, DC Motors and much more. The advantage of the Acksen products over most others is that our Data Loggers constantly sample information (recording the Min, Max and Average) over the set period, many other products only take ‘snap shots’ of what is going on and can miss 99.9% of the data that is critical to your overall analysis.
With Solar PV installations increasing in many countries and the realisation that the old myths around the technology as expensive and uncompetitive are being disproved, attention for many now has turned to the on-going efficiencies of modules and if they are delivering what they set out to. Until recently solar installations primarily involved a site survey which took into consideration irradiation at the site; now consumers are asking about on-going efficiencies of the modules based on irradiation and power generation over time; how much energy is the site consuming and when is it exporting to the grid, this is of particular interest to many industrial and domestic consumers, particularly as part of on-going energy audits and responsibilities around carbon reduction. This area of efficiency is definitely an issue which has become prominent in consumer’s conscience and as time progresses, questions are being be asked about returns on investment and meeting obligations around reducing C02 emissions; now Acksen Electrocorder can offer the answers to questions about efficiency. Some instruments:
