3. Installation
The CMP3-L is usually installed horizontally, but can also be installed at any
angle including an inverted position. In all cases it will measure the flux that is
incident on the surface that is parallel to the sensor surface.
Site the CMP3-L to allow easy access for maintenance while ideally avoiding
any obstructions above the plane of the sensing element. It is important to
mount the CMP3-L such that a shadow will not be cast on it at any time.
If this is not possible, try to choose a site where any obstruction over the
azimuth range between earliest sunrise and latest sunset has an elevation not
exceeding 5
°
. Diffuse solar radiation is less influenced by obstructions near
the horizon. For instance, an obstruction with an elevation of 5
°
over the
whole azimuth range of 360
°
decreases the downward diffuse solar radiation
by only 0.8%.
The sensor should be mounted with the cable pointing towards the nearest
magnetic pole, e.g., in the Northern Hemisphere point the cable toward the
North Pole.
