5. Overview
The
110PV
can
provide
the
photovoltaic
(PV)
module
temperature
for
solar
energy
applications.
This
measurement
is
useful
since
the
output
of
a
PV
module
is
affected
by
its
temperature.
As
the
temperature
of
the
PV
module
increases,
its
output
decreases.
The
110PV
consists
of
a
thermistor
encased
in
an
alumin
i
um
disk
The
alumin
i
um
disk
protects
the
thermistor
and
promotes
heat
transfer
from
surfaces.
An
adhesive
tab
on
the
alumin
i
um
disk
fastens
the
110PV
to
the
measurement
surface.
If
the
temperature
may
exceed
70
°C,
also
use
extreme
sealing
tape
to
secure
the
probe
to
the
measurement
surface.
Features:
l
Easy to install—adhesive strips on the 110PV smooth face adhere to the back of a solar
panel or other device
l
Alumin
i
um
disk
protects
thermistor
and
promotes
heat
transfer
from
surfaces
l
Makes accurate measurements in environments with heavy electromagnetic interference
l
Compatible with Campbell Scientific CRBasic data loggers: CR6, CR3000, CR1000X, CR800
series, CR300 series, and CR1000
