Campbell Sci – SMP10-L Solar Radiation

The SMP10 pyranometer, manufactured by Kipp & Zonen and cabled by Campbell Scientific, measures solar radiation with a high-quality blackened thermopile protected by two glass domes. Its flat spectral sensitivity makes it ideal for applications in natural sunlight, under plant canopies, in greenhouses or buildings, and inverted to measure reflected solar radiation. Communications to on-site RTUs, SCADA systems, or other data acquisition systems are simplified with the industry-standard Modbus RTU communications protocol. Typical uses include environmental monitoring, solar resource assessment, and solar power performance applications.

Typically, this pyranometer is oriented perpendicular to the Earth’s surface to measure global horizontal irradiance (GH). Diffuse sky radiation can also be measured with the use of a shade mechanism.
