Albedometer SRA01

SRA01 is used to measure Albedo which is the ratio of diffusely reflected to incident solar radiation. Generally Albedo depends on the directional distribution of incoming radiation and surface properties and ranges from about 4% for fresh asphalt, 15% for green grass and up to 90% for fresh snow. SRA01 calculates the radiation level of a single pyranometer by dividing the voltage with the sensitivity which is a constant for each individual instrument. It can be directly connected to nearly all commonly used datalogging syastems. It is mostly used to measure outdoor solar radiation for meteorological observations, building physics, roof reflectance studies, climate and solar collector testing.A level is always included as the application requires horizontal levelling.
