Meteorological parameters such as irradiance, ambient temperature, and wind speed are the core basic data for photovoltaic module power conversion, power plant system efficiency PR value calculation, and power generation loss assessment. Traditional fixed meteorological stations have long deployment cycles and fixed point locations, which cannot adapt to the synchronous monitoring needs of mountainous areas, distributed roofs, and scattered arrays. Temporary detection relies on handheld simple radiation meters, with single collection parameters and inability to store data for a long time, making it difficult to meet the professional data needs of power plant acceptance, performance appraisal, and operation and maintenance analysis. Suzhou Laikesi LAILX has launched the LXH506 portable weather station, which integrates lightweight and high-precision sensors with multiple elements. It can be quickly deployed by a single person and deployed at multiple locations, synchronously collecting comprehensive meteorological data required for photovoltaic detection. Combined with a cloud based intelligent data management system, it provides authoritative and complete meteorological support for photovoltaic IV detection, power plant energy efficiency evaluation, and power generation analysis. It also covers emergency monitoring, smart agriculture, and field research applications in multiple fields. Portable weather station

The LXH506 core sensor kit is customized for the photovoltaic industry, integrating seven basic monitoring elements including total radiation, ambient temperature, module backplate temperature, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, and rainfall. It supports on-demand expansion of sensors such as ultraviolet radiation, PM2.5, CO ₂, etc., covering all meteorological indicators required for photovoltaic performance testing. The sensor adopts precision components without mechanical wear, with fast response speed and small long-term drift. After being calibrated by national meteorological equipment, the measurement accuracy meets the national standards for photovoltaic detection: temperature measurement error ± 0.5 ℃, wind speed accuracy ± 0.1m/s, irradiation measurement error ≤± 2%, and the measurement data is stable and reliable under extreme weather conditions such as strong light, low temperature, strong wind, rainstorm, etc. The equipment is equipped with automatic calibration and fault self diagnosis functions, which automatically correct sensor parameters at regular intervals. When the equipment runs abnormally, alarm information is synchronously pushed to the cloud, greatly reducing the frequency of manual maintenance in the field. Remote and unattended photovoltaic fields can continuously collect data for several months.

Portable and rapid deployment is the core highlight that sets LXH506 apart from traditional fixed weather stations. The entire equipment includes an integrated sensing host, an aluminum alloy telescopic tripod, and a three proof portable storage box. All accessories are stored and transported by a single person without the need for cranes or civil construction. It can be set up and started up within 5 minutes of arrival at the monitoring point, without the need for a professional construction team. The sensors and host of the entire machine have reached the IP66 high protection level, with waterproof, dustproof, and lightning protection. The working temperature range covers -30 ℃ to 70 ℃, and the northwest desert, southern high humidity and rainy areas, and high-altitude and low-temperature fields can operate stably all year round. It is equipped with dual protection of signal lightning protection and power reverse connection to avoid lightning damage to monitoring equipment in thunderstorm weather. The power supply system adopts dual mode intelligent switching between solar lithium batteries and mains power, with built-in large capacity energy storage batteries, matched with small photovoltaic charging panels, fully adapted to field photovoltaic fields without power grids, achieving long-term unmanned monitoring.

The intelligent data transmission and management system enables remote digital control. The LXH506 has a built-in 4G full network communication module and is compatible with Bluetooth and RS485 wired transmission. The real-time meteorological data collected by the device is automatically uploaded to the LAILX free cloud monitoring platform. Users can view instantaneous radiation, temperature and humidity, hourly average, and daily cumulative radiation total anytime and anywhere through the mobile app and computer web page. Users can customize temperature and humidity, wind speed exceeding warning reminders, and automatically push SMS alerts for extreme weather. The local body of the device can store massive historical monitoring data throughout the year, supporting batch export of Excel and PDF format data reports from USB drives. The software automatically generates monthly and annual meteorological trend curves, and the data can be directly embedded into IV detection reports and power plant PR performance evaluation reports without the need for manual secondary sorting and calculation, greatly improving the efficiency of third-party detection and power plant operation and maintenance report preparation. At the same time, the device can be linked with the LAILX LX-PV33 portable IV tester to synchronously collect on-site irradiation and temperature parameters at the detection time, automatically convert STC power under standard testing conditions, eliminate IV measurement deviation caused by outdoor light fluctuations, and ensure the compliance and authority of component performance testing data.

In the full chain application of the photovoltaic industry, LXH506 has irreplaceable data support value. In the preliminary site selection and evaluation stage of the power station, multiple points are moved to set up long-term monitoring sites for radiation, temperature and humidity resources, providing meteorological basis for component selection and installed capacity design; During the grid connection acceptance stage of the new power station, temporary deployment will be made to continuously collect meteorological data for 72 hours, in conjunction with the calculation and verification of the actual operational efficiency of the power generation system; During the operation and maintenance phase of existing power stations, multiple photovoltaic arrays are deployed at different locations to compare the differences in regional temperature differences, accurately distinguish the decline in power generation caused by meteorological factors and equipment failures, and optimize component cleaning, maintenance, and operation cycles; Third party testing institutions are used for the identification of power generation loss and special testing of component power retesting, providing complete and traceable meteorological evidence data; The agricultural photovoltaic complementary and integrated wind solar energy storage project synchronously monitors photovoltaic and agricultural planting meteorological indicators to achieve comprehensive resource utilization optimization. In addition to the photovoltaic field, the equipment can also be used for emergency temporary meteorological monitoring of natural disasters, field geological exploration, field smart agricultural meteorological collection, and flexible adaptation to multiple scenarios.

At present, LXH506 has been equipped with major domestic photovoltaic testing institutions, new energy groups, and engineering general contracting enterprises, forming a complete photovoltaic on-site testing solution with LAILX's full series IV, EL, thermal imaging, and insulation grounding testers. The person in charge of product research and development at LAILX in Suzhou stated that meteorological data is the underlying foundation for digital operation and maintenance of photovoltaics. LXH506 fills the gap in coverage of traditional fixed meteorological stations with lightweight mobile monitoring, creating a "fixed station+mobile portable" three-dimensional meteorological monitoring network. In the future, it will continue to upgrade its cloud based big data analysis functions, achieve multi-dimensional data linkage analysis of meteorology, power generation, and equipment failures, and use precise meteorological monitoring technology to assist the digital and refined operation of the photovoltaic industry, continuously improving the overall power generation efficiency of clean energy.
