What is a solar power meter?

Ensure your solar cells’ power production is up to par with our solar PV power meter, a reliable, handheld meter that helps you monitor the power that your solar cell is able to produce. Compact, handheld, and durable, this light meter features simple single-button operation and an easy-to-read LCD Display.

How does a solar-100 meter work?

Transmission Mode: It calculates the solar power transmission percentage of the material, determining how much solar power in % will be transmitted through the window. The SOLAR-100 is more than a solar panel meter. It offers a plethora of non-solar panel applications:

What is a solarmeter used for?

Solarmeter instruments are compact, handheld, and durable with simple single-button operation and NIST traceable accuracy. Applications include monitoring solar pv panel input, outdoor solar irradiance, pv array power output, and much more.

Why should you use a solar panel meter?

With this innovative device, you can optimize the placement of photovoltaic (PV) panels and calculate the overall energy and efficiency of PV systems. It also helps in verifying window efficiency and performance by calculating the heat generated or reduced by direct sunlight.

What type of meter do I need for solar power?

The type of meter you need for solar power will depend on your specific needs. For grid-tied solar systems, a bi-directional utility meter is required to track the electricity being transferred to the grid. On the other hand, a PV meter is used to measure how much electricity your solar system generates.

How does a solar meter work?

Solar meters accumulate PV yield production and local energy consumption to monitor and analyze PV plant performance. It often comes with a monitoring function to alert plant owners of PV plant performance issues, allowing them to resolve problems quickly, letting them quickly resolve problems and maximize return on investment.
