Measure Tilted Global and Diffuse Solar Radiation

Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:58:37 GMT

The position and angle of fixed photovoltaic panels make a big difference to the performance and return on investment of a power plant. The best way for prospecting and performance measurement is by measuring solar radiation with both horizontal AND tilted pyranometers. Kipp & Zonen now offers an accessory to tilt a CMP pyranometer to your preferred angle; the Adjustable Tilt CMP Mounting Kit.
