Overview
The Kipp & Zonen RaZON+ is an all-in-one system that accurately measures both direct normal irradiance (DNI) and diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) from the sun and sky, enabling it to provide very reliable values of global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) and sunshine duration. The integrated data logger presents the irradiance measurements in W/m², sunshine duration in hours and energy in kWh/m² (kilowatt-hours per square meter).
RaZON+ is fitted as standard with the PR1 pyranometer and PH1 pyrheliometer. A base version is also available for mounting SMP/SHP radiometers. Even though the standard RaZON+ instrument specifications are Class C, the calculated GHI is as accurate as the Kipp & Zonen SMP10 Class A pyranometer. The uncertainty of the PH1 is proven to be within 1% of Kipp & Zonen CHP1 and SHP1 pyrheliometers.
