Solar Radiation Sensor
The solar radiation sensor is used to measure shortwave radiation reaching the Earth's surface. (Product does not include the Sensor Mount as shown in photo above).
 
The SP-series silicon cell pyranometers is calibrated to measure total shortwave radiation. This cosine-corrected sensor is designed to maintain its accuracy when radiation comes from low zenith angles.
