MP-200 Pyranometer Handheld Meter with Separate Sensor

Apogee MP-200 Meter with separate sensor. Pyranometer meters measure the shortwave radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, measured in Watts per meter squared. 

Apogee Pyranometers incorporate a silicon-cell photodiode that measures total shortwave radiation. The MP-200 has a separate sensor while the handheld meter displays and stores measurements. The sensor housing design features a fully potted, domed-shaped head making the sensor fully weatherproof and self-cleaning. Total shortwave radiation is an important component in determining evapo-transipration rates, energy balance, net radiation as well as monitoring solar power panels.
