Applications:

A solar power meter is a device that is able to measure solar power or sunlight in units of W/m2 or BTU (ft2 x h), either through windows to verify their efficiency or when installing solar power devices. It is ideal for ensuring that where solar power is present, it is presented at its optimum position for maximum power absorption, or where there is too much coming through a window, it may suggest that the window will need replacing. A solar power meter device is most commonly used for a variety of applications where overall energy, efficiency and placement of solar systems needs to be calculated, for example:

• Solar power research


• Identifying high-performance opportunities


• Physics or optical laboratories


• Solar radiation measurement


• Agricultural applications


• Meteorological applications
