Solar Instruments

Pyranometers

Pyranometers are radiometers designed for measuring the irradiance on a plane surface, normally from solar radiation and lamps.

Pyrgeometers

Pyrgeometers are designed for IR (infrared) radiation measurement, for both atmospheric and material testing research applications.

Pyrheliometers

The pyrheliometer is designed for unattended normal incidence direct solar radiation measurement research.

Sun Trackers

The Sun trackers are all-weather, reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments. Either as a dedicated Sun tracker or as a computer based Positioner.

UV Radiometers

Broadband scientific UV radiometers for ‘Total UV’ and with a spectral response that is adapted to UVA, UVB and the UVE Erythemal (sunburn) action spectrum of the human skin.

Net Radiometers

Kipp & Zonen offers a range of net radiometers for the measurement of incoming and outgoing short-wave (0.3 to 3 µm) and long-wave (4.5 to >40 µm) radiation.

Sunshine Duration Sensors

Radiometers for the measurement of sunshine duration. Sunshine duration is defined by WMO as the time during which the direct solar radiation exceeds the level of 120 W/m2.
