Product Detail
Company Profile

The SPN1 Sunshine Pyranometer is a precision solar radiation measurement instrument with a ground glass dome, and is designed for long-term outdoor exposure. It is an affordable and effective alternative to shade-ring pyranometers, pyrheliometers and traditional sunshine recorders.
