The TES132 Solar Power Meter is a precision instrument used for solar radiation measurement. It employs a long-period, reliable, and stable silicon-based photovoltaic sensor with cosine correction for oblique incident light. It can measure solar power from various orientations and angular positions and can be mounted on a tripod for stable and easy mobility.
This power meter features a time setting function, capable of integrating energy measured per second and automatically calculating the average energy per hour. It can directly provide the average solar energy irradiance. The power meter supports continuous time-resolved measurement and recording, and can be connected to a computer.
