Solar Power Optimization
Variations in solar radiation at a site can dramatically affect energy yields from solar generation facilities.
Accurate assessments of solar power resources at a potential site can support planning and provide information that ensures optimum solar power yield.
Why monitor solar energy resources?
- Determine actual potential energy yield
- Identify ideal locations for solar power stations and panels
- Optimize placement to maximize efficiency
- Monitor system performance over time
Together, this information will help maximize your return on investment in solar energy.
Why choose the LI-200R?
The LI-200R combines durability and economy as a low-cost alternative to class one thermopile pyranometers. It provides accurate measurements of total solar radiation under clear sky conditions.
- Sensor is removable from the base/cable assembly for simpler maintenance and replacement
- Replace cables or sensors individually to reduce costs
- Cables of many lengths and terminal options to suit different site requirements
- Compatible with data loggers that read volts, millivolts, or microamps
- Excellent sensitivity to light from solar angles to 82°
Designed for long-term outdoor deployment, the LI-200R is an excellent choice for solar power resource assessment and optimization.
