Photovoltaic measuring device, PCE-SPM 1, PCE Instruments

The solar radiation detector for solar energy is the optimal hand - testing device for solar engineers, architects and hobby solar installers. With this solar meter you determine the solar power. This makes it possible to make a statement about the composition and design of a photovoltaic system. The light intensity is measured using a monocrystalline silicon solar cell. The processor integrated in the solar measuring device ensures automatic correction to maintain the basic accuracy after the calibration of each device in the solar simulator. The most important parameter P tot (in W/m²) can be read directly on the display.

The data contained in the internal memory (32,000 measured values) can be transferred to the serial interface of a PC using the software. This solar measuring device was also designed for outdoor use and has a weather-resistant plastic housing. Its compact dimensions allow convenient one-hand operation.
