Solar Radiation Sensor (TruTrack LE-VO) 12v input capable.
The TruTrack Solar Radiation Sensor is designed to monitor a wide range of the light spectrum to calculate how much radiation is received.
Technical Specs:
- Range ~15 w/m²
- Accuracy ±5%
- Cosine error is typically less than 3% from vertical to 85° in all directions
- Temperature Coefficient .15% per 1°C
Description:
The pyranometer uses a polycrystalline silicon solar cell to measure the incoming global solar radiation. This gives good accuracy without the expense and maintenance required by a thermopile pyranometer. It also provides a flatter spectral response than photo diodes that are frequently used for this type of sensor. The pyranometer has a relatively large surface compared to many photo diode sensors which minimizes inaccuracies caused by the effect of rain drops and dirt on the surface.
The pyranometer has been designed to provide a wide spectral response, a good cosine response and low susceptibility to inaccuracies caused by raindrop and dirt effects.
