Solar Radiation Sensor

Product Description

The SEN-SR-SW is a self-powered sensor with a millivolt output and exhibits excellent cosine response. It incorporates a silicon-cell photodiode that measures total shortwave radiation with a sensor housing design that features a fully potted, domed-shaped head making the sensor fully weatherproof and self-cleaning. Total shortwave radiation is an important component in determining evapotranspiration rates, energy balance & net radiation as well as monitoring solar power panels.
