We propose the use of an array of different isotopically enriched detectors for a precise measurement of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS). We show the impact that correlations between systematic uncertainties can have in different applications. Here we focus on testing the quadratic dependence in the number of neutrons of the CEvNS cross section, the determination of the neutron rms radius of target materials, and constraining Non-Standard Interactions. We exemplify our method with germanium based detectors, but the applicability can be extended to other technologies such as silicon and nickel.
