Solar Irradiance Meter - TM206

The handheld TM206 Solar Energy Tester brings ''point and read'' simplicity to the measurement of solar irradiance. Essential for determining the optimal position for setting up solar PV panels. It is small and lightweight, ideal for use in the field. Turn the meter to ''on'', point the sensor at the sun and read the measurements on the display.

The TM206 is a cost effective irradiance meter that has the added benefit of coming suppled with a fully traceable Calibration Certificate, a requirement of the MCS.
