Solar Power Options for ICT Instruments
The Solar Power Options for ICT Instruments such as Sap Flow Meters, Heat Field Deformation Sap Flux Meters, Stem and Leaf Psychrometers, VSL Loggers and IoT Nodes are listed below.
- SP10: 10 Watt Solar Panel for Nodes
- SP20: 20 Watt Solar Panel for Sap Flow Meters, Heat Field Deformation Sap Flux Meters, Stem and Leaf Psychrometers, and VSL Loggers as well as large capacity battery nodes.
The SP20 is available with a Post (SPPM1) or Pole (SPPM2) mount for installation.
The SP20 and SP10 are also available with the SPLM for mounting with a Node.
Designed to provide reliable power for ICT International devices, the Solar Power options are simple to install integrated power systems, fully compatible with ICT International products.
The SP20 is available with a Post (SPPM1) or Pole (SPPM2) mount for installation.
The SP20 and SP10 are also available with the SPLM for mounting with a Node.
It is recommended to use the Solar Power Calculator to identify the optimal external battery capacity and panel size for the ICT International Sap Flow Meter; the calculator is available here
