Key benefits Reliable field measurements: accurately captures total solar radiation across the full solar spectrum (0.3-3 um), giving you the data needed for climate, energy, and agricultural analysis. Reduced maintenance and interference: externally fitted dust cover with special anti-dust treatment lowers particle buildup and minimizes environmental interference with internal components. High optical performance: dust cover transmits up to 95% of incoming light while the sensor’s light-sensitive element provides high absorption and stable response across the measured spectral range. Proven measurement principle: uses a photoelectric detection method for direct, repeatable spectral radiation measurement. Features and performance Function: total radiation sensor for measuring solar radiation over 0.3-3 um (micrometers). Sensing principle: photoelectric measurement for reliable, fast response. Sensor element: high-precision light-sensitive element with wide-spectrum absorption and strong stability. Optical protection: an external dust cover treated to reduce dust adsorption and protect internal components; light transmission up to 95% maintains measurement accuracy while shielding the sensor. Environmental robustness: design reduces interference from dust and other environmental factors, supporting longer stable operation between maintenance intervals. Practical details (what this means for you) Accurate energy assessments: suitable for mapping solar resource potential and evaluating photovoltaic system performance across the full solar band. Stable environmental monitoring: reduced dust accumulation helps maintain calibration and reduces the frequency of field cleaning and re-calibration. Research-grade readings: wide-spectrum absorption and a high-precision detector deliver the consistent data needed for meteorological and agricultural studies. Typical applications Solar energy site assessment and PV performance monitoring: obtain total solar radiation data across 0.3-3 um to support system sizing and yield estimates. Weather and climate stations: integrate into environmental monitoring networks to record long-term radiation trends with reduced sensor contamination. Agricultural and ecological research: use for crop radiation studies, evapotranspiration estimates, and ecosystem energy-balance modeling. What to expect in operation Low optical loss at the cover (up to 95% transmissivity), preserving signal strength. Stable spectral response and high absorption across the solar band for consistent measurements. Reduced measurement drift and fewer interruptions for cleaning thanks to the specially treated dust cover.
