PCE-SPM 1 is a photovoltaic light meter for measuring solar radiation in W/m² or BTU/(ft²×h), with a measuring range of 0 to 2000 W/m² and a resolution of 0.1 W/m². Accuracy is ±10 W/m² or ±3 BTU/(ft²×h) or ±5%, whichever is greatest in sunlight, with an additional temperature error of ±0.38 W/m²/°C from 25°C. It features a cosine-corrected silicon photovoltaic sensor with <5% angular error below 60°, a sampling rate of 4 Hz, and auto data memory for 43,000 measurements. The device has a 4-digit LCD display, data hold, min/max functions, RS-232 output, and is powered by four AAA Li-ion batteries yielding approximately 16 days of continuous use. Dimensions are 111 × 64 × 34 mm, and weight is 158 g. Operating conditions are 0 to 50°C and <80% RH.
PCE-SPM 1 is a photovoltaic (PV) light meter used to measure solar radiation, solar energy or solar power. The meter's easy-to-read 4-digit LCD screen clearly displays Ptot in W/m² or BTU/(ft² x h), while the device's auto data memory stores up to 43,000 data sets.
