To ensure high availability from your wind measurements, you need a reliable source of power.
There are a few common solutions to this:
- Power trailers, with the lidar or sodar outside and connected by a power cable;
- Trailers where the power system and lidar or sodar are housed in the trailer
- Containerised versions of the above
- Standalone solar panels, fuel-cells, generators, and battery packs, connected to the lidar or sodar.
The choice is almost endless, and there are suppliers globally.
To make it easier to find a power supply, we’ve started a list of the power supply trailers we know about on a dedicated page.

The good news is that Moli, our wind monitoring software, can pull data from most of these power supplies. So, with Moli you can see what’s happening with all aspects of your wind measurement campaigns in one place.
