Solar-Powered Weather Station

Product Details

The Solar-Powered Weather Station is designed for Earth science and meteorology instruction, providing accurate, real-time measurements of wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, rainfall, and relative humidity. The station uses a long-range 2.4 GHz spread-spectrum radio to transmit data up to one mile line of sight, with rapid two-second wind updates for detailed atmospheric analysis. A solar-charged internal battery supports continuous operation and can power the station for up to 60 days without sunlight, eliminating the need for external power connections and reducing the risk of lightning or power-surge damage. Sensors are housed in durable, weather-resistant materials, including stainless steel hardware, fiberglass components, and UV-inhibited PVC, and temperature and humidity measurements are protected by a passive solar radiation shield modeled after National Weather Service designs. All sensors are factory calibrated with NIST-traceable standards to ensure reliable, repeatable data. Data can be accessed through compatible display units, network interfaces, or cloud-based platforms, allowing flexible integration into classrooms, labs, and remote monitoring applications.
