SP-Lite - a low-cost, yet very accurate, universal silicium pyranometer.
Kipp & Zonen SP-Lite
This silicium-pyranometer was especially designed for calculating evapotranspiration for precision irrigation purposes, monitor solar panels in energy production, for air pollution dispersion calculations and similar applications. SP-Lite can be used under all weather conditions. It compares favorably to ISO 9060-specified First Class Thermopile Pyranometers under clear and unobstructed natural daylight conditions.
SP-Lite uses a photo diode detector, which creates a voltage output that is proportional to the incoming radiation. This signal is converted by the integrated Adcon amplifier to a 0-2.5V signal, compatible to all Adcon RTU's.
The sensor comes complete with all mast mounting equipment, two pipe clamps, and a shielded 2m cable with a 7-pin Binder jack, compatible to all RTU's of the A723 and A733 families.
