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.

SP-LITE Silicon Pyranometer

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.
