1. Introduction

The digital solar power meter is a precision instrument

used to measure solar radiation in the field.

It is fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of

solar illumination.

The solar power meter is compact, rugged and easy to

operate.

The solar sensitive component used in the meter is a

very stable, long-life silicon photovoltaic detector.

2. Features and Applications

Features :

4 digit LCD reading

Wide spectral range

Excellent long term stability

Cosine corrected

Automatic transmission measurements

Select either power or transmission

Solar energy measurement

Current time setting function

User calibration factor setting function.

End-mount light sensor

Select either W/m

or Btu / (ft

x h) units

Data hold/MAX/MIN/AVG modes

Manual Data Memory and Read function. (99 sets)

Auto power off function

Applications :

The meter can directly measure the solar power radiated from

any direction, angle or position, and can be mounted firmly on

a tripod. The meter can also calculate the total solar energy

against elapsed time or calculate the average solar energy

per hour.

1. Solar Power Panel Industry:

The meter can be used to measure the solar power at the

installation to determine the best location, angle and

direction before fitting the solar panel.

2. Solar Power Research:

The meter can be used for solar power research and

development, as a tool of education and to check the

efficiency of solar cells.

3. Agriculture:

Vegetables, flowers and plants are influenced by sunlight,

especially when cultivated in a greenhouse. The meter can

measure the solar power and help optimize plant growth.

4. Solar transmission measurement:

The meter can measure the solar transmission of glass,

heat insulation papers, parasols, sunshades etc.

For example:

Compare the solar power radiation measured before and

after a sunshade is installed. The measured readings help

determine whether the sunshade material is good at

reducing the solar power transmission.

5. Construction:

The meter can check the solar radiation at any angle and

any time, which is helpful when installing sheltering

systems to control the indoor temperature efficiently and

save energy.

Electricity can be produced by combining the building materials

with the solar power panel. The meter can measure the solar

power radiation to obtain the highest efficiency.
