1. INSTRUCTION
D The digital solar power meter is a precision instrument
used to measure solar radiation in the field.
D It is fully cosine corrected for the angular incidence of solar.
D The solar power meter is compact, tough and easy to handle.
D The solar sensitive component used in the meter is a very
stable, long-life silicon photovoltaic detector.

Applications
The meter can measure the solar power radiated from any
direction, angle or position, and can be mounted firmly on a tripod
The meter has Time Setting function, it can integrate the
measured solar power of every second, calculate the average
energy per hour automatically after the desired 1me s se up 1n
order to get the average solar energy.
