MS-90 DNI Sensor
- DNI measurement (<10% uncertainty)
- Pulsed analog output 0-2V
- Spectral range 300 - 2500nm
- No sun-tracker required
- Configurable to measure DNI / GHI / DHI
- Optional C-Box with GPS and Modbus output
A new sensor which accurately measures the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) without the requirement of a sun-tracker. It features a rotating mirror, which only reflects the sunbeam onto a thermal detector. The pulsed analog output can work with dataloggers with a pulsed analog input or peak hold function. The analog pulse (0-2V) is proportional to the DNI.
Optional control box with GPS antenna (C-Box) can be used to connect MS-90 and any pyranometer to create a digital solar monitoring station measuring Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), and calculating Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI). This system provides Modbus 485 RTU output for all parameters from a single cable.
A revolutionary method to capture the direct sunbeam. MS-90 is …
Applications and uses
Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is driven by only direct solar radiation. To quantify the energy efficiency of a CPV system the total DNI and direct spectral solar irradiance, called spectral DNI, can …
