Overview
EKO Albedometers are based on a modular design, comprising two MS or S-Series pyranometers combined using the EKO Instruments MS-Albedo Kit, plus glare screen, and optional MV-01 Heater & Ventilator.
Compatible with all S-Series pyranometers, the MS-Albedo Kit allows users to create custom configurations to suit their specific application.
The MS-80S Albedometer utilises two Class A MS-80S ‘fast-response’ and ‘spectrally flat’ Pyranometers with 5-year warranty and competition-busting 5-year recalibration interval, each with our unique 4-channel analog and digital interface, providing compatibility with 99% of data loggers and SCADA systems.
Level A EMI/EMC electronic surge filtering, and a suite of internal temperature, humidity, tilt and roll angle sensors help ensure optimal performance with reduced maintenance, contributing to greater efficiency, higher yield, and more rapid ROI.
Designed for accuracy, built for reliability, and compliant with IEC 61724-1 requirements for Class A PV monitoring systems, the MS-80S Albedometer is the best quality, and best value, albedometer available; delivering industry-leading accuracy in solar albedo and reflected solar radiation measurement.
