CC-C05 Cloud Monitor
1. Product Introduction
The cloud monitor (SunLight IQ) is a professional meteorological observation device designed for accurate measurement of sky cloud cover and solar transmittance. The device uses cutting-edge large model algorithms, combined with professional optical sensing technology, to calculate and analyze the cloud layer's transmittance to sunlight in real time, providing users with high-precision cloud monitoring data. SunLight IQ is particularly suitable for applications in meteorological stations, climate research centers, agricultural monitoring, and solar power generation, helping users from all walks of life to more accurately understand and predict weather and its impact on solar energy utilization.
Features
Large model algorithm driven: Using advanced machine learning technology and big data analysis, SunLight IQ can accurately calculate the amount of clouds in the sky and the proportion of sunlight passing through the clouds, providing more accurate data than traditional methods.
High-precision optical sensing: Equipped with highly sensitive optical sensors to ensure accurate capture of changes in cloud cover and sunlight under different ambient lighting conditions, enhancing data reliability.
Real-time data analysis and feedback: The device can analyze data in real time and quickly provide users with cloud cover and solar transmittance measurement results through wireless network connection, supporting instant decision-making and analysis.
Ease of use and interactivity: Equipped with an intuitive user interface, the software allows users to easily set up, monitor and interpret data. The software also includes data visualization tools to help users intuitively understand changes in cloud cover and light transmittance.
Wide range of applications: Not only suitable for professional meteorological and climate research, but also can be used in agricultural production monitoring, solar power generation efficiency evaluation and other fields to meet a wide range of application needs.
