The solar sensor's function is to monitor the strength or power of sunshine, an important weather parameter, but is especially relevant to those stations being used for agricultural or farming applications, for example, to allow the calculation of evapotranspiration, which the Vantage Pro2 console can display directly.
A two-piece housing minimises radiation heating, allows convection cooling of the sensor, and prevents the trapping of water or dust.
For use with Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2
Already included with Vantage Pro Plus and Vantage Pro2 Plus
