The position and angle of fixed photovoltaic panels makes a big difference to the power output and return on investment of a solar energy plant. The best way to determine this in prospecting and performance measurement is by measuring solar radiation with both horizontal AND tilted pyranometers. Kipp & Zonen now offers an accessory to tilt a CMP pyranometer to your preferred angle; the Adjustable Tilt CMP Mounting Kit.

Need continuous measurements of sensible heat fluxes over path lengths from 100m up to 4.5 km? The new LAS MkII scintillometer provides just that. With a very straight forward measurement process and much faster results. Since only limited power is required, in most cases a simple solar charged battery is sufficient.

Solar radiation is one of the biggest factors that influence our daily lives. There is more to it than just the light we see with our eyes; it provides energy for nearly all the life on Earth and drives the weather, climate and water cycle. Kipp & Zonen is pleased to announce the publication of a completely revised and updated “Guide to Solar Radiation” by Reinhold Rösemann.
