Mild Steel Sunshine Pyranometer

Description
The Sunshine Pyranometer is a precision solar radiation sensor designed to measure both global and diffuse solar irradiance and automatically calculate sunshine duration. It uses an array of thermopile sensors combined with a unique shading pattern, eliminating the need for mechanical shading devices such as shadow rings or trackers. This makes it a robust, low-maintenance solution for environmental monitoring, meteorological applications, and solar energy studies.

• Measures global and diffuse solar radiation simultaneously.

• Automatic sunshine duration output using WMO standardized threshold.

• No moving parts and no mechanical shading devices required.

• Built-in heater to ensure reliable performance in cold or humid environments.

• Low maintenance design with no routine alignment or calibration adjustments.

• Multiple output formats for easy integration with dataloggers and SCADA systems.

• Suitable for long-term outdoor installation in harsh environments.
