VERNIER PYRANOMETER
Vernier's Pyranometer measures the power of electromagnetic radiation. It is sensitive to near infrared, visible and UV radiation, where 90% of solar energy is concentrated. It reads in watts per square metre so it is great for experiments with solar cells and calculating their efficiency.

The sensor is weatherproof, designed to be permanently mounted outside, has a dome-shape top to allow it to work with a wide range of sun angles and comes with a 6 metre cord. The black electronics box should be kept dry.
