In a conversation with Craig Plaatjes, Global Solar Product Manager at OTT HydroMet, we discuss the SMP Series from in-house brand Kipp & Zonen. The SMP Series includes the following three spectrally flat and Class A pyranometers, SMP10, SMP22 and SMP12.
PES: When we’ve featured OTT HydroMet in the past the focus has primarily been on the European and North American markets. What prompted your recent push to reach a global audience, and what regions are you targeting?
Craig Plaatjes: We have always had a global outlook and focus. Since our core brands, like Kipp & Zonen, originated in Europe and North America, these regions by default received more attention. However, we have always served customers globally.
With offices in Dubai, China, Singapore and channel partners in South America, our solar solutions are installed in PV plants across the globe. These instruments are deployed in a variety of climates around the world; from harsh and extremely cold Arctic regions to hot, dry, and dusty desert areas.
Our recent push is motivated by a desire to ensure all our customers continue to receive the same attention, service, and support regardless of region.
