TES-132 Solar Power Meter

Description

TES-132 is a handheld digital datalogging solar power meter used to measure solar radiation. It is a portable and rugged device that features a 4-digit LCD display, data hold functions, and the ability to store data internally or on a microSD card. Key features include cosine correction, a wide spectral range, and the option to measure either solar power or transmission.

Key Features

• Measurement: Measures solar power and transmission.
• Datalogging: The device is capable of logging data, typically saving it to a microSD card. This allows for long-term monitoring and analysis of solar radiation.
• Units: Can display readings in both watts per square meter (W/m²) and British thermal units (Btu).
• Accuracy: It is "cosine corrected," meaning it adjusts for the angle of incidence of the sun's rays to ensure accurate readings.
• Interface: Features a 4-digit LCD display and a USB interface for connecting to a computer.
• Software: Includes software for data analysis, although compatibility issues with modern operating systems like Windows 10 have been noted by some users.
• Portability: The meter has a compact, durable, and battery-powered design, making it suitable for field use.
