Solar Radiation / UV
The VEML6075 UV sensor solves common challenges in solar radiation measurement by providing precise UVA and UVB readings with temperature compensation and visible light rejection. This enables accurate UV index monitoring, essential for environmental sensing, agricultural applications, and climate analysis. Its low power consumption and I2C digital interface make it ideal for remote, battery-powered LoRa weather stations. Compared to analog UV sensors, the VEML6075 reduces signal noise and sensor drift, improving data reliability. Its compact size and ease of integration support deployment in harsh outdoor environments where stable, real-time UV radiation data is critical for predictive maintenance, renewable energy planning, and microclimate monitoring.
In remote LoRa-powered weather stations, harsh environmental exposure—UV degradation, dust accumulation, moisture intrusion, and calibration drift—often threatens data accuracy. These challenges can lead to poor solar energy forecasting, unreliable climate monitoring, and reduced agricultural efficiency. A solar radiation UV sensor enables precise measurement of sunlight intensity and ultraviolet exposure, helping detect shading, soiling, or sensor misalignment early. By providing real-time irradiance data, it supports predictive maintenance, optimizes solar panel performance, and enhances localized weather models. This ensures better renewable energy planning, accurate climate analytics, and resilient long-term operation in off-grid or hard-to-reach areas.
