Davis Solar Radiation Sensor – Measures Solar Insolation (For Pro2 & Vue) Description

The Davis Solar Radiation Sensor is an essential tool for anyone interested in accurately monitoring solar radiation and its effects on evapotranspiration. Whether you are a professional meteorologist, a researcher, or simply a gardening enthusiast, this sensor provides the precise data you need to make informed decisions. Imagine having the ability to gauge sunlight exposure and optimize your irrigation schedule based on real-time solar measurements—this sensor makes it possible.

Designed for compatibility with both the original Vantage Pro and Vantage Pro2 systems, the Davis Solar Radiation Sensor is engineered for accuracy. Its diffuser element and housing are meticulously crafted to ensure an accurate cosine response, meaning you can trust that the measurements reflect true solar conditions. The silicon photo diode is expertly matched to the solar spectrum, enhancing measurement accuracy even further.

Worried about environmental factors affecting your readings? The two-piece housing of the sensor minimizes radiation heating and allows for convection cooling, ensuring that your readings remain reliable. Additionally, this design prevents water or dust from being trapped inside, which can lead to inaccuracies. The sensor also includes a built-in level and a generous 2-foot (0.6 m) cable, making installation straightforward and user-friendly. Whether you're setting up a weather station or adding to your existing setup, this sensor can be integrated with ease.
