By increasing solar exposure and enabling the sensor’s internal aspirating fan to operate more often, the Dual Solar Panel Pro assembly helps stabilize airflow through the sensor housing so readings more closely reflect real outdoor conditions. The kit is shipped with the pro assembly and a straightforward installation guide and fits a long list of AcuRite 5-in-1 models (sensor sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual solar panel improve temperature readings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo solar panels capture more sunlight throughout the day, supplying additional power so the aspirating fan can run more frequently. Greater fan operation promotes consistent airflow across the internal temperature sensor, minimizing heat buildup and local temperature bias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreases solar input for longer fan run-times\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces temperature spikes caused by direct sun or stagnant air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports more even ambient sampling during daytime and low-light periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich AcuRite models are compatible with this upgrade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 06003 PRO+ Upgrade is intended for AcuRite 5-in-1 weather sensors that were shipped with a single solar panel and are listed as compatible by AcuRite. It is not necessary for PRO+ models that already include the dual-panel assembly from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits many 5-in-1 models including 00502, 01010W, 01015, 01022M, 01035, 01050, 01500 series, 01524, 01525, 01602BPDI, 02032C, 06006RM, 06016RM and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot required for AcuRite PRO+ factory-assembled stations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck your sensor model number before purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs installation difficult and what tools are required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be straightforward for people comfortable with basic tools.

While outcomes depend on siting and local conditions, you should see fewer artificial temperature spikes and more consistent daytime measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoother temperature traces during sun exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved consistency between open-air and sensor-recorded temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter performance in partially shaded or variable-sunlight locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The AcuRite Iris 06003 PRO+ Upgrade is aimed at owners of AcuRite 5-in-1 weather sensors (sold separately) that originally shipped with a single solar panel and who want improved ambient temperature stability without replacing the entire sensor. It’s ideal for hobby meteorologists, property managers, and outdoor enthusiasts who already own one of the compatible AcuRite models and want a simple field upgrade to reduce measurement bias caused by solar heating or limited airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this upgrade fit my AcuRite 5-in-1 sensor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Check the model number against the compatible list; it fits many AcuRite 5-in-1 models but not PRO+ units already factory-equipped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do I need special tools to install the upgrade?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No special tools—installation uses common hand tools and the included guide for a quick field swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"AcuRite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56805129224532,"sku":"B00T0K8MJW","price":72.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/acurite-iris-06003-pro-plus-front-assembly.jpg?v=1786800167","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/acurite-iris-06003-pro-dual-solar-panel-upgrade-for-5-in-1-weather-sensor-improves-temperature-accuracy","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
