Seaward Solar Survey 100

The Seaward Solar Survey 100 irradiance meter offers a professionally solar efficiency survey solution. A number of essential functions have been incorporated into a rugged and durable design, making the Solar Survey 100 a vital part of any solar pv survey.The Seaward Solar Survey 100 can measure irradiance of up to 1250Wm-2 or BTU/hr/ftf2, and the unit can provide more accurate readings than others due to its use of micro-cells, allowing it to work as an actual solar cell rather than using photo-diodes.Suitable for both solar thermal and solar pv (solar photovoltaic) applications, the Seaward Solar Survey 100 is capable of measuring irradiance up to 1250Wm-2 or BTU/hr/ftf2. The unit operates as a solar cell rather than using photo-diodes giving highly accurate readings as a result.Readings can be taken of both ambient and modular air temperatures at the same time. A built-in inclinometer and compass make it easy to measure roof orientation and pitch. Taking readings gets even easier with a hold function that allows you to freeze the screen in order to record results.As well as containing these great features, the Seaward Solar Survey 100 is rugged and durable, and ideal for surveying potential solar sites in any environment.
