An irradiance test measures the amount of solar power received per unit area, typically expressed in watts per square meter (W/m²). This test is crucial for evaluating the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Devices like the Fluke IRR1-SOL or similar meters are commonly used. These meters measure the solar radiation hitting their surface from a 180-degree field of view. are also ready to be on-site wherever you need them to minimize downtime and keepcyou moving forward.
Place the irradiance meter directly on the solar panel or in the same plane as the panels to get an accurate reading.
The meter will display the irradiance level in W/m². This value helps determine if the solar panels are receiving adequate sunlight to produce the expected amount of electricity.
Some irradiance meters also measure temperature, inclination, and compass direction, which can be useful for comprehensive system analysis.
