Most measurement instruments are either analog or smart. This applies to our Kipp &amp; Zonen portfolio for solar irradiance monitoring, too. But which one to choose for which application?<\/p><p>In this episode of OTT CAST, we welcome Sajad Badalkhani, an experienced technical expert for solar monitoring instruments. We discuss the technical differences between analog and smart sensors and who they are designed for. Sajad explains the concept of the Modbus protocol and introduces the SMP12, an ISO 9060:2018 Class A pyranometer with integrated heating and built-in sensors for remote monitoring of humidity and tilt angle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b23057 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"7b23057\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Solar_Training_IMGW_1_small.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"7b23057\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Sajad Badalkhani is an experienced technical expert for solar irradiance measurement instruments.

Wissenschaftsautor. Podcaster. Vertriebler. Meine beruflichen Anf\u00e4nge als mehrsprachiger, preisgekr\u00f6nter Sportjournalist lagen in Zeitungsredaktionen und Rundfunk. Nun widme ich mich noch spannenderen Themen wie Technologie, Meteorologie und erneuerbaren Energien. Bei OTT HydroMet betreue ich eine riesige und faszinierende Region, die vom Baltikum bis zum Balkan, von meinem Heimatland Polen bis nach Kasachstan reicht. Ich brenne daf\u00fcr, dort den \u00dcbergang zu einer erneuerbaren Energielandschaft zu unterst\u00fctzen. Zudem liebe ich Sport, Berge und Heavy Metal.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.otthydromet.com\/"],"url":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/author\/martinmaly\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1022452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1022452\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1022307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1022452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1022452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.otthydromet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1022452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
