Overview
In detail
When it's needed
This glare screen kit is needed when creating a horizontal albedometer or a net radiometer. The glare screen has an angle of 5° and is fitted to the pyranometer to prevent direct illumination of the domes by the sun at sunrise and sunset.
Compatibility
The kit is for CMP6-CMP22 and SMP6-SMP22 pyranometers. For downward facing instruments equipped with a CVF4 ventilation unit, a special Glare Screen Kit (Pn 0305725) is offered.
Installation notes
Do not use the Glare Screen Kit when installing a tilted downward facing pyranometer, e.g. in the same plane as the PV modules. Also do not install the normal sunscreen when installing the pyranometer facing downwards.
