Kipp & Zonen Solar Instruments
Complete range of high quality instruments for the measurement of every part of the solar spectrum, from the ultraviolet to the far infrared.
Overview
In detail
Pyranometers, pyrgeometers and pyrheliometers
Pyranometers are radiometers designed for measuring the irradiance on a plane surface, normally from solar radiation and lamps. Pyrgeometers are designed for IR (infrared) radiation measurement, for both atmospheric and material testing research applications. The pyrheliometer is designed for unattended normal incidence direct solar radiation measurement research.
Sun trackers and albedometers
The Sun trackers are all-weather, reliable and affordable tracking and positioning instruments. Either as a dedicated Sun tracker or as a computer based Positioner. The CMA albedometers are double pyranometers that measure both global and reflected solar irradiance in one instruments.
UV, net and horticultural radiometers
Broadband scientific UV radiometers for ‘Total UV’ and with a spectral response that is adapted to UVA, UVB and the UVE Erythemal (sunburn) action spectrum of the human skin. Kipp & Zonen offers a range of net radiometers for the measurement of incoming and outgoing short-wave (0.3 to 3 µm) and long-wave (4.5 to >40 µm) radiation. Radiometers specifically designed for horticultural and agricultural applications to measure PAR (photo synthetically active radiation).
Sunshine duration, data loggers and accessories
Radiometers for the measurement of sunshine duration. Sunshine duration is defined by WMO as the time during which the direct solar radiation exceeds the level of 120 W/m2. To read out and record data from our various sensors, we offer different models of data loggers. For portable outdoor applications we advise the waterproof LOGBOX SD with low power and a large storage memory, for logging up to 6 months using internal batteries. A wide range of accessories is available for our instruments. For example: Mounting plates, shadow rings and levelling fixtures.
