Solar Radiation Sensor - Pyranometer
(Optional)
The Pyranometer is designed for routine measurement of global
hemispherical solar radiation under all weather conditions. The sensor
has a rugged uni-body design, which houses a high-performance silicon
photodiode detector mounted beneath a conical shaped (self-cleaning)
diffuser. Due to the unique diffuser design, the sensitivity of this sensor is
proportional to the cosine of incidence of the incoming solar irradiance,
allowing for accurate and consistent measurement. The solar radiation
sensor comes with a standard 50-foot cable, a quick disconnect
connector pair and a leveling plate for obtaining more accurate
measurements.
