MS-02 Sensor

The MS-02 is a practical handheld readout device for irradiance measurements, with a built-in inclinometer to measure roof pitch, a compass to measure roof orientation and thermometer to measure ambient and module temperature.

The MS-02 handheld solar irradiance meter is the perfect instrument for solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) and solar thermal installers to conduct comprehensive solar pv site surveys. The MS-02 also includes a data logging facility with USB interface to enable the measured data to be downloaded to a PC. This allows for irradiance and temperature to be recorded at user-defined intervals over a number of hours or days, the collected data can then be downloaded for analysis or for inclusion in solar installation reports.

The MS-02 is a high specification user-friendly irradiance meter that allows for quick and easy irradiance measurements, displaying the information in either W/m² or BTU/hr-ft². The ideal solution for both solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) and solar thermal applications.

The use of a photovoltaic reference cell provides a more representative measurement of solar energy and greater accuracy and repeatability compared to irradiance meters which use simple photodiode detectors. The MS-01 and MS-02 irradiance meters both incorporate a display hold feature, which enables the user to easily capture readings in difficult locations.
