Today, with the rapid development of renewable energy, the operational efficiency of solar power stations directly affects the output of clean energy and the return on investment. By precisely monitoring the environmental and meteorological conditions of the station site, HONDE’s integrated meteorological monitoring system specially designed for solar power stations is becoming the “smart brain” for the efficient operation of various photovoltaic power stations from deserts to plateaus, from coastal areas to inland regions.
The Atacama Desert in Chile: An “Efficiency Optimizer” Dealing with Extreme environments
At the photovoltaic power station in the Atacama Desert, which has the strongest sunlight in the world, the HONDE meteorological station has demonstrated outstanding environmental adaptability. The system is equipped with high-precision radiation sensors and spectral radiometers, which not only monitor total radiation, scattered radiation and direct radiation in real time, but also analyze the spectral composition, providing performance evaluation benchmarks for high-efficiency single crystals and emerging perovskite modules. Meanwhile, the combination of environmental temperature and wind speed monitoring data with the backplane temperature model enables the operation and maintenance team to accurately determine the operating status of the components. After sand and dust weather, they prioritize cleaning the arrays with severe efficiency losses, thereby increasing the overall cleaning efficiency by more than 30%.
“Power Prediction Expert for Complex Terrain”
In a large photovoltaic base in India, the HONDE meteorological Station undertakes the important task of ensuring the stability of the power grid. Monitoring points deployed in various areas of the power station form a dense meteorological network, tracking the irradiance fluctuations caused by cloud movement in real time. These data, combined with the component health status obtained through drone inspections, enable power stations to accurately predict changes in power generation 15 to 30 minutes in advance, providing a crucial basis for grid dispatching. In winter, the system can also monitor the impact of snow accumulation on components, guide the priority of snow removal operations, and minimize power generation losses to the greatest extent.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Guarding the “Corrosion Warning Outpost” for Coastal Power stations
At solar power stations along the Persian Gulf, high-salinity air and sandstorms jointly threaten the lifespan of the equipment. The HONDE weather station not only monitors conventional meteorological parameters but is also equipped with an atmospheric corrosiveness monitoring module to assess the rate of salt deposition and corrosion risk in real time. When sand and dust weather combined with high humidity conditions is detected, the system will issue a cleaning warning to prevent salt and sand from forming hard-to-remove scale on the surface of the components, thereby extending the service life of the components and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
Brandenburg, Germany: “Microclimate Modulator” of AgriVoltaic
In the agrivoltaic project in northern Germany, the HONDE weather station plays a dual role. The system provides precise microclimate data for agricultural production by monitoring the changes in light, temperature, humidity and wind speed beneath the photovoltaic panels. These data confirm that a reasonable layout of photovoltaic panels can lower the surface temperature by 2-3℃ in summer and reduce water evaporation by 25%, truly achieving the synergistic effect of “one piece of land, two harvests”.
From the extreme irradiation in the Chilean desert to the agrosolar synergy on the German plains, from complex terrains to the corrosive environments along the Middle East coast, HONDE solar power station dedicated weather stations are becoming the core equipment for optimizing the operation and enhancing the power generation efficiency of global solar power stations with their precise and reliable data collection capabilities. As the proportion of renewable energy continues to rise, this system will continue to provide a solid data foundation for the global energy transition.
