STR-21G-S0
- With Harmonic Drive®
Overview
The STR-21G-S0 is a turnkey sensor system designed to perform the most accurate solar radiation measurements of direct solar radiation. Compatible with almost all DAQ systems, with multiple analog and digital inputs, the STR-21G-S0 is equipped with an internal sun-position sensor and GPS receiver for quick and easy set-up.
Based on the STR-21G Sun Tracker, in combination with the Class A MS-57 Pyrheliometer, the STR-21G-S0 system can be freely configured to measure the required solar radiation components in the most accurate way. The MS-57 has a heated front window to avoid condensation and ice, which can affect the measurements, ensuring uninterrupted accuracy, whatever the weather.

STR-21G Sun TrackerWith integrated GPS, sun position sensor, and a Harmonic Geared type stepper motor, the STR-21G Sun Tracker is built to deliver unparalleled precision, optimal positioning, and reliability, whatever the weather. Easy to set up, the STR-21G automatically adjusts to the sun's position, even if the tracker is not oriented or levelled correctly, and can support a range of Global, Diffuse and Direct Radiation measurement sensors for custom configurations. The single configurable arm of the STR-21G can mount the MS-57 Class A Pyrheliometer for DNI readings and the optional MD-81-10 shading disk assembly, shielding any top-mounted pyranometer for diffuse solar radiation measurements. |

MS-57 PyrheliometerThe MS-57 Class A Pyrheliometer is a fast, accurate, stable, and exceptionally reliable direct normal incidence (DNI) solar irradiance sensor. 'Fast-response' and 'spectrally flat' under ISO 9060:2018 specifications, each MS-57 is calibrated outdoors and tested against reference sensors fully traceable to the World Radiometric Reference. With an integrated low power window heater to prevent dew deposition or frost on the outside window, and competition-beating long-term stability, the MS-57 is truly 'all-weather' and perfectly suited to a range of applications. |
