The netH₂O B100-5 is a compact solar-powered smart buoy for continuous water-quality monitoring. It combines a 100 Wh battery, a 5 W solar PV panel, cellular connectivity and the Sensorica cloud data pipeline in a small autonomous platform.
Thanks to its advanced low-power control system, the B100-5 is designed for indefinite field operation under suitable solar exposure and configured sampling/upload schedules: the buoy wakes, samples, stores and periodically uploads data to the cloud, where it can be accessed through the Sensorica Data Platform.
Its water sampling system implements a patent-pending innovation.
The base platform includes:
- 5 W solar PV panel for continuous energy harvesting.
- LiFePO4 battery, approximately 100 Wh, managed by the onboard control system.
- Advanced duty-cycle control for low-power sampling, local buffering and scheduled cloud upload.
- Cellular connectivity for periodic automatic data transmission.
- Cloud data access through the Sensorica Data Platform.
- GPS positioning and configurable acquisition/transmission schedules.
- Temperature sensor and IMU for buoy status, motion and environmental context.
- Pre-arranged for water-quality sensor integration on a shared RS-485 / Modbus chain.
Typical applications include aquaculture, mussel farming, coastal monitoring, lakes, reservoirs, ports, marinas and research deployments where a small autonomous buoy is preferred over a larger platform.
With or without application packs, the buoy is ideal as a coastal drifter: it can report its position and transmit it to shore over LTE. The solar panel supports indefinite operation under suitable solar exposure. Because its above-water component is very small relative to its submerged body, the buoy naturally follows the currents. For stronger current following, we can integrate additional current-intercepting components—just contact us.
Application packs (sold separately):
- Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
- Conductivity / Salinity (CS)
- Chlorophyll-a (CHL)
- Turbidity (Turb)
- Cyanobacteria (CYANO)
