PCE-SPM 1 solar radiation meter
with integrated sensor that determines energy efficiency in photovoltaic systems / also used to find the optimum location for new installations

The PCE-SPM 1 solar radiation meter is the optimal device for solar engineers, architects and those working with the field of solar engineering. This solar radiation meter will measure solar power. Parameters such as current and voltage can also be measured with an optional multimeter with data logger, device. This allows the user to take measurement over extended periods of time to monitor photovoltaic installations. Light intensity is measured using a silicon crystal. The integrated processor in the solar radiation meter is responsible for making automatic corrections for ensuring accuracy after calibrating each device in the solar simulator. The most important parameter is Ptot (in W/m²) and can be seen clearly on the display. Data saved to the internal memory (32,000 readings) can be transferred to a computer by way of software and cable connection. This solar radiation meter has been developed for use outside and is made of a durable enclosure that is weather resistant. It's compact design makes it an ergonomic device. This link provides an overview where you will find a radiation detector to suit your needs.

  • Measurements can be taken in situ for solar energy being generated and insulation: Ptot

  • Measurements can be taken over periods of time thanks to the internal memory for up to  32,000 readings

  • Software for analysing and transferring data comes included

  • Possibility to make a comparative solar measurement

  • Minimum, maximum and data hold functions

  • Powered by 4 lithium-ion batteries for approx. 16 days of continuous use

Examples of use

1. Solar measurement in situ
With the rdiation meter, a measurement can be taken of the energy in a specific location. These readings can be used to verify the operating ratio of modules or photovoltaic installations.

2. Simulation of temperature, power, voltage and current of photovoltaic modules.
Note: a multimeter that we have available.

3. Prolonged measurements
The device is equipped with an internal data logger for taking measurements over extended periods of time.

Solar radiation
The radiation meter recognizes complete solar radiation, which is to say, direct radiation such as that found in the atmosphere. Most solar radiation that is reflected by the earth is found to be visible infrared found in the electro magnetic spectrum, as ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere. Solar radiation can last for up to a year, as the angle of reflection in the summer is greater than that of the winter and the rays impact more directly against the surface of the earth.
