Solar Power Meter with SD Card Data Logger

The Lutron SPM-1116SD is a versatile solar power meter equipped with a convenient SD card data logger. It offers three primary functions: measuring solar power, power integration, and transmission analysis. This device stands out with its wide spectral range, ensuring accuracy across various light conditions. Its long-term stability is exceptional, making it a reliable tool for extended use.

Users can choose between two power units: W/m^2 or Btu/(ft^2xh), depending on their preference or project requirements. The meter is cosine corrected for more precise measurements. For ease of use, it features a separate probe, allowing for more flexible operation.

One of the key features of the Lutron SPM-1116SD is its real-time SD memory card data logger, complemented by a built-in clock and calendar. This enables efficient and organized data logging and time tracking. The sampling time is adjustable, ranging from 1 second to 3600 seconds, offering flexibility to suit different research needs. The SD card capacity is also quite accommodating, supporting cards from 1 GB to 16 GB. A 16 GB SD card is included.

Additional functionalities include data hold, and the ability to record maximum and minimum readings. This solar power meter is particularly useful in various fields, such as meteorology, agriculture, solar radiation measurement, solar power research, and in physics and optical laboratories. It's also adept at measuring solar transmission, which is essential for identifying high-performance windows.
