Renewable Energy Company Relies on Solar 3 Weather Stations

Solar 3 Weather Stations: A solution tailored to our specific requirements

Ceylex Renewables is an individual renewable energy producing company based in Sri Lanka. The company owns and operates a capacity of over 30 MWs in solar, wind, and hydro power plants on this island nation.

CWS Solar 3 Weather Stations are installed at two of their solar power plants. Assistant Electrical Engineer, Chalitha Senevirathna reports, “We required your weather monitoring systems for the resource assessment and performance monitoring of our solar PV power plants. Since actual solar irradiation at the plant site was not available, we required a monitoring system to measure the annual irradiation levels and temperature and compare the results with the energy generated from the power plant.”

“For our requirement, we reached out to a few companies," Chalitha continued. "However, Columbia Weather Systems is the one who responded to our inquiry promptly and was very supportive and responsive. Furthermore, Columbia Weather Systems was able to provide us with a solution tailored to our specific requirements.”

The Climate Change Club uses the data to report hourly weather readings to the National Weather Service. According to their website: “This will make South River High School a weather hub for pilots to collect current weather conditions of our area. The information that the club collects will also be archived for climate change data.” Administrator Kamila Miazio added that the club “provides a weekly forecast, satellite imagery of CONUS, and severe weather updates. The advisor is working to teach students METAR code (the weather code that pilots use to see current weather conditions for the area), report an hourly automatic observation with the weather equipment, record the data and report i
