MS-60S Albedometer consists of two MS-60S pyranometers and a special albedo kit with a glare screen to measure albedo and total reflectance. 

This Smart Albedometer has internal temperature, humidity and tilt sensors for remote diagnostics. These additional internal sensors will help the user to monitor the stability of the irradiance sensors as well as to ensure its proper installation and maintenance practices.

MS-60S Albedometers are used in solar power plants with bi-facial PV modules and in meteorological applications.

The MS-60S is an ISO 9060:2018 Class B with smart sensor technology and onboard diagnostic functions now standard for all EKO smart sensors. It preserves the high accuracy of the sensor while complying with the various output standards used in the industry. …

Applications and uses

Accurate solar radiation measurements

The accurate solar radiation measurements and the reliable driving require a little knowledge and attention: think about environmental influences (wind, rain/snow, soiling), re-calibration (bi-annual), without mentioning data processing, spectral effects, …
