Apogee SP-230 All-Season Pyranometer
The new Apogee SP-230 All-Season Pyranometer is a game-changer in the measurement of solar radiation by finally eliminating the problem of snow, frost, and dew accumulating on the sensor—a problem that has been shown to drastically affect the accuracy of many radiometers all throughout the year (Malek, 2008).
We combined a tiny internal heater (0.18 Watt), a dome-shaped head, and an elevated base to keep the SP-230 tracking our expensive heated and ventilated reference pyranometer during the most severe weather—while using 1/80th the power.
The heater can be powered by a small solar panel and battery, even on short days at high latitudes. Contact us for details.
