Vertech-Built Instrumentation

MET Stations +
Vertech's Solar MET Meteorological station.

Designed and built to last in our panel shop, Vertech's Solar MET Meteorological stations are easy to assemble and come standard with a precision instrumentation package and data logger all mounted on a stainless-steel mast.

Our standard instrumentation package includes a plane of array (POA) pyranometer, global horizontal irradiance (GHI) pyranometer, module surface temperature (MST), and a variety of other important weather and environmental condition measurements.

We offer Pro and Compact versions for greater flexibility and/or cost savings.
