SUNNY SENSORBOX Specifications
The Sunny SensorBox provides data to alert the system owner of possible performance issues as they occur. This helps identify unnecessary loss in energy production had the performance issue gone unnoticed. The value that determines how well a PV array is performing, given environmental conditions, is called the Performance Ratio. The Performance Ratio represents the difference between the calculated output and the actual output of the PV array. The WebBox sends data from the SensorBox and the Sunny Boy inverters to the Sunny Portal which automatically calculates the system’s Performance Ratio. This additional insight into PV array performance is invaluable for system owners and solar technicians alike.
