Solar farms

Whether you're managing a C&I-scale solar site or a dual-use agrivoltaic installation, your job doesn’t stop at output. You’re optimizing land, tracking microclimates, detecting performance drops, and proving ROI, all while meeting compliance. It’s a lot to juggle, and you need clarity without complexity. How much more energy could you generate, or loss could you prevent, if your weather data actually matched the conditions on site, in real time?

Low quality data puts you at risk

When you’re working across acres of PV infrastructure or mixed-use energy-ag sites, even small changes in soil moisture, radiation, or heat buildup can impact yield, lifespan, and land value. Without high-resolution data, you risk:

Reduced energy efficiency from undetected panel heating

Poor land-use decisions due to inaccurate environmental assumptions

Missed insights in vegetation-water-panel interaction for agrivoltaic systems

Inefficient maintenance, delayed response, or compliance gaps

When performance is tied to both the sun and the soil, you need instrumentation that can keep up, through weather, wear, and regulatory review.

METER combines scientific accuracy and field durability in a single integrated solution. We help solar operators and agrivoltaic designers make data-backed decisions with less guesswork:

ATMOS 41 all-in-one weather stations measure solar radiation, wind, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and more with no moving parts.

TEROS 12 sensors track soil moisture, salinity, and temperature: essential for land use, vegetation success, and thermal management.

ZENTRA Cloud unites your site data in a live dashboard, helping you analyze patterns, detect trends, and export reports easily.

Simplified real-time insight

You don’t have time for complicated integrations or hard-to-maintain systems. METER gives you a simple path to real insight, without a steep learning curve or excessive field time:

Install ATMOS and TEROS sensors throughout your array: targeting edge zones, shaded gaps, and varying terrain.

Connect everything to ZL6 loggers and ZENTRA Cloud for instant, hands-free data sync.

Use environmental and soil data to adjust panel layout, irrigation, vegetation management, and compliance documentation.

Optimize solar output

with data you can trust

Without reliable environmental and soil data, you’re left chasing symptoms instead of solving root problems. When that happens, inefficiencies pile up, land value drops, and performance suffers. If you’re operating blind, you risk:

Yield loss from panel inefficiencies due to heat buildup or shading

Poor vegetation survival in agrivoltaic zones due to unmanaged soil moisture

Higher maintenance costs and slower detection of underperforming sections

When your data is clean, complete, and real-time, you can stop reacting and start optimizing. With METER’s rugged sensors and cloud-connected insights:

You track every inch of environmental impact, from root zone to atmosphere

You protect performance, optimize panel layout, and manage land use more efficiently

You validate agrivoltaic success with trusted data you can hand to funders, regulators, or operators

Commercial and infrastructure (C&I)

In solar system design, ground-truthing atmospheric conditions is critical—but it shouldn’t slow you down. You need dependable, long-lasting data without overcomplicating the install or increasing maintenance costs. METER’s all-in-one, research-grade weather stations are built for simplicity and staying power—easy to install, no moving parts, and engineered for long-term accuracy. So you get the environmental insights your system depends on—without the guesswork or upkeep.

Agrivoltaic (AgriPV)

Optimize both harvests—solar and agricultural—with data you can trust. Designing successful agrivoltaic systems means balancing two ecosystems in one: energy production above and crop performance below. To do it right, you need site-specific insight into how light, temperature, and moisture interact across the entire system. METER gives you the full picture—monitoring atmospheric conditions above the array and correlating them with soil and climate data beneath the panels. With ZENTRA Cloud, you get simple, reliable compliance reporting and the power to make informed, data-driven decisions that support both power and crop yield.
