SP-LITE Silicon Pyranometer
The SP-LITE measures incoming solar radiation (sun plus sky radiation) with a photodiode
detector. Output from the photodiode is a current, which is converted to voltage by an
internal shunt resistor. The SP-LITE can be used in solar energy applications such as
plant growth, thermal convection and evapotranspiration.
1. General Description
FIGURE 1. SP-LITE Sensor without Leveling Fixture
The SP-LITE is used for measuring solar radiation. It measures the solar
energy received from the entire hemisphere – i.e. 180° field of view. The
output is expressed in Watts per square meter (W m-2).
The SP-LITE is designed for continuous outside use, and its calibration is valid
only for unshaded natural daylight – not for artificial light. It is most usually
used to measure solar radiation being received on the horizontal plane.
However, the SP-LITE can, if required, be used in an inverted or tilted
position.
1.1 Electrical Properties
The SP-LITE consists of a photodiode complete with housing and cable. The
circuit includes a shunt resistor for the photodiode in order to generate a
voltage output. The electrical specification of the sensor is determined by the
characteristics of the photodiode and resistor. The electrical circuit of the
pyranometer is shown in Figure 2, below.
The electrical sensitivity of the photodiode changes with temperature. A
nominal value for this change is 0.2% change per °C. Calibration is carried out
at 20 °C.

FIGURE 2. SP-LITE Electrical Circuit
1.2 Spectral Properties
The spectral properties of the SP-LITE are mainly determined by the spectral
response of the photodiode, which is shown in Figure 3, below.
FIGURE 3. Spectral Sensitivity of Pyranometers Compared with Solar
Radiation
The SP-LITE is calibrated for solar radiation under clear sky conditions. The
spectrum for these conditions, at sea level, is also shown in Figure 3.
Unfortunately, however, the actual solar spectrum varies as a function of cloud
cover, season and solar elevation. Since the pyranometer does not have a flat
sensitivity across the whole solar spectrum, the accuracy of its response will
vary. However, the error range across the whole spectrum has been proven to
be small. The maximum total estimated error will only be in the region of ±5
percent when compared to the calibration conditions.

Both the spectral sensitivity and the photodiode sensitivity of the SP-LITE will
change with temperature, and the separate effect of each of these changes
cannot be easily determined.
1.3 Directional/Cosine Response
A perfect cosine response will show maximum sensitivity at an angle of
incidence of zero degrees (perpendicular to the sensor surface) and zero
sensitivity at an angle of incidence of 90 degrees (radiation passing over the
sensor surface). At any angle between 0 and 90 degrees the sensitivity should
be proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence.
Figure 4 shows the behavior of a typical SP-LITE. The vertical axis shows the
deviation from ideal behavior, expressed in percentage deviation from the ideal
value.
FIGURE 4. Cosine Response of a Typical SP-LITE Pyranometer
In Figure 4, 0 degrees zenith angle equals 90 degrees angle of incidence. The
vertical axis shows the percentage deviation from ideal cosine behavior.

3. Installing the SP-LITE
The SP-LITE and PN 14282 base/leveling fixture are attached to a tripod or
tower using one of two mounting configurations (see Figures 6 - 7).
Mount the sensor on the mounting arm so that no shadow will be cast on it at
any time of day, at any time of year, from obstructions such as trees, buildings
or the mast or structure on which it is mounted. In the northern hemisphere the
instrument is normally oriented towards the South to avoid potential problems
from shading.
The SP-LITE will only perform to specification under clear-sky
conditions. It must not be mounted where it is subject to shade,
beneath structures or beneath a plant canopy.

FIGURE 7. 025STAND and 019ALU Crossarm
Mount the sensor on the mounting arm at a height of at least 1.5 m above the
ground surface to minimize shading effects. PN 14282 mounting bracket has a
built-in bubble level that is used to mount the SP-LITE to the 025STAND or
015ARM. Mount and adjust the SP-LITE as follows:
1. Attach the mounting arm to the tripod or tower at the required height.
2. Loosely attach the 14282 Kipp & Zonen Base and Leveling fixture to the
mounting arm using the three mounting screws provided with the
mounting arm (025STAND or 015ARM).
3. Level the 14282 by adjusting the three outside leveling screws as required
to center the bubble in the level. Tighten the three mounting screws.
4. Attach the SP-LITE to the 14282 using the two screws provided.
