Solar Analysers
Solar Analysers are very useful for the planning and maintenance of photovoltaic parks. Solar analysers are used to search for the best location and also to check photovoltaic modules are working correctly. Due to the fact that solar energy is nowadays one of the most important and exciting of all alternative energies, it would be worthwhile to invest in this sector for long term benefits. Photovoltaic installations use solar radiation to produce energy from solar light. Prior preparation is indispensible before installing a photovoltaic array so that you can maximise the return on solar cells. Our solar analysers allow the user to record direct sun light over a extended period of time. Radiation values are stored in the internal memory of the meter for further analysis. To ensure photovoltaic cells optimum efficiency we recommend a regular maintenance as with any product. With the PCE-SMT 200 solar analysers you can record the photovoltaic cells characteristic voltage curve. This meter will also show the current solar radiation maximum power. If you can't find the solar analysers you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 (0)2380 987030 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments. Our engineers and technicians will be happy to help you with the solar analysers, and of course, with the other products in the field of regulation and control, and scales and balances.

 With our solar analysers you can determine the photovoltaic cells efficiency. To do that, you have to input in the photovoltaic meter the surface of a photovoltaic cell and then you will receive solar radiation. The photovoltaic cells efficiency level will depend on diverse parameters. There are three photovoltaic cells types: Polycrystalline cells, monocrystalline cells and thin-coat solar cells which are different depending on their efficiency level. It is also important to bear in mind that the efficiency level of photovoltaic cells is lowered with the passing of time by some alterations of the used material. Dirtiness also affects the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells. With our solar analysers you will be able to test regularly your photovoltaic installations.

Solar Radiation
The higher energy content of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface is in the visible and infrared spectrum as the UV is absorbed by the atmosphere. The solar radiation varies throughout the year due to the change experienced by the angle of light rays on the surface of the earth. The solar radiation is higher in summer than in winter because most perpendicular rays strike at this time of year.
