Power Systems for NOAA Data Buoys
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deploys data buoys throughout the world's oceans to sense and transmit meteorological observations needed for weather forecasting, climate studies and tsunami warnings. Irradiance is working with NOAA's National Data Buoy Center to improve the design of PV power systems used on these buoys.
