General Description

SP Lite2 can be used under all weather conditions and is designed for a long operating life with simple maintenance. The sensor receives solar energy from the entire hemisphere in its view and produces a small voltage output that can be converted into the irradiance in Watts per square meter (W/m²).

SP Lite2 is installed around the world for meteorology, hydrology, agriculture and building automation; where reliable measurement at relatively low cost is required, and the performance of a broadband thermopile pyranometer is not needed.

SP Lite2 is particularly suited to monitoring the efficiency of photovoltaic solar energy systems, where the spectral response is similar to that of PV cells. Solar radiation is also a key input to decision making on activities such as product quality control, determination of optimum location and predicting the system output under various sky conditions.
