Description
This Solar Power Meter enables precise measurement of solar radiation power for the manufacture and installation of solar panels and environmental applications. The results appear in W/m2 or BTU/ft2 on a triple tier backlit display which shows a continually updated minimum, maximum or average reading. The display also shows the tilt angle and the probe features a compass for orientation. The Solar Power Meter manually or automatically records and recalls 20 data points. Each unit comes in a protective foam lined carrying case complete with tripod screw, magnetic mount, 9V battery and instructions. Weight: 7 oz (202g), Dimensions: 5 ½” x 2” x 1” (140 x 49 x 29 mm)
