The Seaward Solar Survey 100 Irradiance Meter is ideal for people doing a Solar Survey or solar site assessment. Not only is this a high quality irradiance meter but it includes a digital compass, tilt meter and dual channel temperature measurement for ambient and PV panel temperature.
The low cost Survey 100, 5 in 1 meter means you don't have to carry around four seperate solar surveying instruments. If you need a 6 in 1 meter with datalogging as well take a look at the Seaward Solar Survey 200 test meter.
The Solar Survey 100 uses a photovoltaic reference cell, rather than a photo-diode, to more accurately measure solar irradiance in either Wm� or BTU/h/ft�. In addition this solar surveying tool also has a built-in digital compass, digital inclinometer and dual channel thermometer. These extended functions enable solar surveyors to measure roof orientation, roof pitch, ambient temperature and PV module temperature for a fully comprehensive overview of potential solar sites.
The Seaward Solar Irradiance Meter is suitable for use on both solar photovoltaic and solar thermal installations, making it possible to identify the optimum location and best angle of inclination to achieve maximum efficiency from the sun's energy.
Seaward Solar Survey 100 Irradiance Meter features:
Accurately measure solar irradiance as required by IEC 62446
Built in digital compass to measure roof orientation
Built in digital inclinometer to measure roof pitch
Dual Sensor Thermometer for measuring both ambient air and PV module temperature
Ideal for use on both solar PV and solar thermal installations
Capable of providing a comprehensive solar site survey
