Pyranometers are widely used by weather and climate scientists to monitor the amount of solar radiation hitting the Earth at a specific location and time. Pyranometers are used for to monitor the solar radiation flux density in Watts per square meter. The Wm² value can be critical in calculating the return on investment and the ongoing efficiency of solar farms and other solar power installations.
Purchase prices for each type of pyranometer can be found in each section. Items also include all options available and accessories.
The CMP3 is a spectrally flat class C pyranometer that is smaller and lighter than the other CMP series pyranometers, providing an economical solution for the routine measurement of incoming global solar radiation. The CMP3 uses a 64-junction thermopile detectors and provides an expected output of 0-30mV based on a sensitivity of 24 to 32µV/W/m². The CMP3 has a 4mm glass dome with a spectral range of 300 to 2800nm. The small size and sealed construction make this instrument the ideal choice for horticulture, monitoring solar energy installations and small industrial applications.
The SMP3 Pyranometer is a spectrally flat class C pyranometer with an amplified analogue and RS485 Modbus RTU output. The SMP3 is identical to the CMP3 pyranometer but includes a Modbus interface allowing for an improved response time and rescaleable, temperature corrected measurement data. The amplified output options are 0-1V or 4-20mA and these are identically configured to allow for easy installation and exchange during recalibration. The SMP3 has a 4mm glass dome with a spectral range of 300 to 2800nm. The small size and sealed construction make this instrument perfect for monitoring solar energy installations, agriculture, horticulture, hydrological and industrial applications.
The CMP6 Pyranometer is a Spectrally Flat Class B pyranometer that has a similar detector to the CMP3 but with improved performance. The CMP6 uses a 64-junction thermopile detectors and provides an expected output of 0-30mV based on a sensitivity of 5 to 20µV/W/m². The CMP6 has two, 2mm thick, high quality concentric domes which reduces directional error and improves thermal isolation. The CMP6 has a drying cartridge with replaceable desiccant. Spectral range of 285 to 2800nm. The CMP6 is ideal for cost-effective, good quality, measurements in meteorological, hydrological and agricultural applications.
The SMP6 Pyranometer is a Class B pyranometer with industry standard digital and analogue amplified outputs. The SMP6 is identical to the CMP6 pyranometer but includes an RS485 Modbus RTU interface allowing for an improved response time and rescaleable, temperature corrected measurement data. The SMP6 has a dual-dome construction with high quality glass and an increased thermal mass covering a spectral range of 285 to 2800nm. This unit is ideal for high quality solar radiation monitoring for site prospecting or technology research for solar energy applications. It is also particularly suitable for upgrading meteorological networks and for use in sun tracker based solar monitoring stations.
The CMP10 Pyranometer is a Spectrally Flat Class A pyranometer which provides a faster response, better linearity and a wider measurement range than the CMP3 and CMP6. The CMP10 uses a 32-junction thermopile detectors and provides an expected output of 0-21mV based on a sensitivity of 7 to 14µV/W/m². The CMP10 has two, 2mm thick, high quality concentric domes which reduces directional error and improves thermal isolation. The CMP10 also has built-in temperature compensation and an internal desiccant that lasts for 10 years. Spectral range of 285 to 2800nm. The sealed construction and 10 year desiccant pack makes this pyranometer ideal for long-term installations for meteorological, hydrological and agricultural applications in difficult to reach locations.
