THE MODELS 776 SOLAR METERS ARE HAND HELD SOLAR INTENSITY METERS USED TO MEASURE DIRECT PLUS DIFFUSE SOLAR RADIATION.  THE METER IS A RUGGED TWO BEARING MICROAMMETER.  THE SENSOR IS A SPACE GRADE SILICON CELL CAREFULLY LOADED TO INSURE GOOD LINEARITY OF RESPONSE VERSUS INTENSITY.   THE SCALE IS CALIBRATED IN BOTH HEAT UNITS (BTUH/FT^2) AND ELECTRICAL UNITS (WATTS/M^2).  THE MEAN CALIBRATION ERROR OVER A WIDE RANGE OF INTENSITIES IS 3%. DIMENSIONS ARE 2.3 in. X 3.6 in X 1.2 in..  WEIGHT IS 3 oz..   CUSTOM NAME PLATES WITH YOUR LOGO AND INFORMATION ARE AVAILABLE.      HOME   SOLAR HOME   CONTACT US  NEW   Digital Solar Meter  NEW

 APPLICATIONS  

MODEL 776E	MODEL 776
THE MODEL 776E IS GENERALLY SUITED FOR MEASURING THE TRANSMISSION LOSS THROUGH TRANSPARENT MATERIALS OR FILTER MATERIALS SUCH AS WINDOW FILMS AND SCREENS.  IT  HAS THE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE TOP END OF THE METER BODY SO THE METER CAN BE POINTED AT A SOLAR SOURCE AND "BEFORE" AND "AFTER" MEASUREMENTS CAN BE MADE.	THE MODEL 776 IS IDEAL FOR MEASURING THE SOLAR ENERGY ABSORBED BY A FLAT PANEL COLLECTOR SUCH AS A PHOTO VOLTAIC PANEL OR SOLAR WATER HEATER. HAS THE SENSOR LOCATED ON THE FRONT OF THE METER BODY SO IT CAN BE PLACED FLAT ON THE SURFACE AND THE MEASUREMENT READ DIRECTLY FROM THE SCALE.

 
  OTHER MEASUREMENTS CAN ALSO BE ESTIMATED

• TO ESTIMATE THE TOTAL INSOLATION OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, SEVERAL READINGS CAN BE TAKEN AND SUMMED TO OBTAIN THE TOTAL.

•  DIFFUSE RADIATION CAN BE ESTIMATED BY SHADOWING THE SENSOR CELL.

• PERFORMANCE OF CONCENTRATION SYSTEMS, LENS, MIRRORS, ETC. CAN BE ESTIMATED BY COVERING PART OF THE SILICON SENSOR.
