Design example: a solar tank station visited every two weeks
A two-week service interval defines access planning. The energy reserve still depends on the agreed no-charge period and the measured station load.
Separate the service interval from the power reserve
| Choice | What to compare | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Site visit every two weeks | Access, cleaning, cable and mounting checks | A visit interval alone does not specify battery capacity |
| Periods without charging | Required operation through poor sunlight | Calculate usable reserve from measured daily energy |
| Level reading | Tank geometry, sensor fit and original observation time | Agree the reference and low/high-level meaning |
| Lost connection | Missing-data indication and supported recovery | Check the selected logger and platform together |

Common questions
Can we use a powered-site RTU here?
Confirm the RTU supply voltage and total station load. A battery or solar supply must support the chosen sensor and transmission schedule; compare powered-site options if an existing cabinet supply is available.
