LI-200 Pyranometer Sensor

LI-200 Pyranometer Sensor This sensor has a spectral response curve that covers a wide range from 400 nm to 1100 nm with a peak in the infrared at 950 nm. The photodiode used in this sensor is blue-enhanced to increase its response at the shorter wavelenths. The pyranometer is suitable for measurements of global solar radiation in unobstructed daylight. It is used in many agricultural, meteorological and solar energy studies. The sensor is calabrated against an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer under natural daylight to achieve a high correlation to the PSP measurements under those spectral conditions. Furthermore, the LI-200 operates on a silicon photovoltic detector which allows it to be priced much lower than thermopile-based pyronometers while producing great results.
